Portrait of a Spaniel - British Edwardian art dog portrait oil painting

By Robert Morley

Located in Hagley, England

This gorgeous British Edwardian dog portrait oil painting is by noted animal artist Robert Morley.

The dog has a black face and black patches with lovely roan type speckles up its legs and body. Morley has beautifully captured the wispy softness of its fur and fluffiness on its chest. Of course the dog has those mesmerising dark brown spaniel eyes that would melt any heart. This is a simply wonderful spaniel portrait...
