Scottish Deerhound oil on canvas by Miss Edith M Ashford (American, 19th/20th) An oil on canvas of head studies of four Scottish Deerhounds by Miss Edith M Ashford (American, 19th/20th). To the reverse three ink written labels. “ “Four Scottish Lasses†by Edith M Ashford ??? House“ “Scotch Lasses†E M Ashford Marjorie†, named “Marjorie???, Mona, Bana, ???" and another with remnants of address “West Hayley West Stourbridgeâ€. Possibly the dogs from Mr. H. P. Parker’s Stourbridge kennels. In 1985 a painting titled “Trio of Wolfhounds†by E M Ashford was sold at Sotheby’s London for £1,800. It would seem Miss Ashford was a fancier of the breed. English, circa 1900.
Ashford came to England, met with Hubert von Herkomer and studied under him at the Bushey School of Art.
