An oil of a Dandie Dinmont attributable to George Earl (English, 1824 - 1908)

A tondo oil on canvas laid on panel of a head study of a Dandie Dinmont attributable to George Earl (English, 1824 - 1908). English, circa 1870.


George Earl was the father of the equally famous canine artist Maud Earl, and perhaps his greatest legacy was the painting of one hundred dogs, for the book titled, “Champion Dogs of England”, published around 1870. There had of course been previous dog encyclopaedias, but by the second half of the 19 century, the interests in the breeding of the pure bred dog, vigorously led by Queen Victoria, and supported by wealthy and landed Victorians, had seen remarkable development. This is almost certainly a Champion Dandie Dinmont.
