English 19th Century Oil Painting of a Dog and Pheasant in Landscape

About the Item

An atmospheric English oil on canvas painting from the 19th century, depicting a black-and-tan hunting dog frozen in a moment of stillness, poised and alert as it discovers a pheasant in the underbrush. Its stance is steady, yet full of tension—muscles coiled, ears pricked forward—capturing that charged pause before action. This unsigned work captures a classic sporting subject in a richly layered natural setting. The scene is alive with narrative tension—the dog’s alert posture and the pheasant’s defensive stance suggest the split-second before pursuit. Framed by a sweeping river and rolling hills under a cloud-streaked sky, the landscape is rendered in soft tones that enhance the mood of the composition. The canvas is housed in an ornate giltwood frame that complements the scale and subject matter. The overall aesthetic is one of restrained drama and refined rusticity—ideal for collectors of sporting art, animal portraits, or traditional English interiors. Professionally mounted and wired for hanging.

Located in Atlanta, GA
An English late 19th century oil painting of a dog sitting in an armchair with red cushion in giltwood frame. This exquisite animal painting features a short hair caramel colored dog, majestically sitting in a chair, in a manner reminiscent of Velasquez' depiction of Pope Innocent X. A red cushion, whose deep tones contrast beautifully with the dog's coat, assures us that the dog is very comfortable!

This portrait is a perfect example of this trend. Set inside a lovely giltwood frame, this vertical format English dog portrait...
