19th Century English Oil Painting of a Bulldog by R.H. Hearn, Dated 1874

About the Item

19th Century English Oil Painting of a Bulldog by R.H. Hearn, Dated 1874. A finely executed 19th-century English oil painting depicting a seated bulldog, signed and dated by the artist R.H. Hearn, 1874. This richly detailed portrait captures the noble character of the breed with a sense of directness and quiet strength, highlighted by the dog's striking black and white coat and bold striped collar. Set against a subdued dark ground, the painting emphasizes the animal's muscular form and attentive gaze, showcasing the artist's command of realism and anatomical study. The brushwork is confident and textured, with visible surface craquelure consistent with age, contributing to the work's period charm. The canvas has been professionally relined and is presented in a clean-lined, custom wood frame that enhances its timeless appeal without distracting from the composition. An excellent example of 19th-century British animal portraiture and a compelling addition to both traditional and eclectic interiors.

A superbly detailed mid-18th-century Indian miniature court painting, executed in gouache heightened with gold on handmade paper.
