Antique 19th century oil painting after Sir Edwin Landseer’s famous work A Distinguished Member of the Humane Society (1838).
This charming Victorian example depicts the iconic Newfoundland dog lying recumbent under a threatening sky, as the sea-water laps against the stone quay. The composition closely follows Landseer’s celebrated image, which honoured the breed’s reputation for bravery and lifesaving. The dog is beautifully painted with rich brown and white tones and an expressive, dignified presence.
