British School Sporting Animal Lurcher Dog Oil Portrait C1910

Signed J. Warnes Lurcher Dog Sporting Oil Painting Circa 1910

British School Sporting Animal Portrait With G. Rowney & Co. Canvas

Description

Fine early 20th-century British sporting animal portrait depicting a prized chestnut-and-white lurcher standing within an English country landscape.

Painted in oil on canvas and signed J. Warnes lower right, the work is provisionally dated to circa 1910.

The dog stands almost in full side profile upon a rural pathway surrounded by tall summer grasses, with golden fields beyond. Its head turns directly towards the viewer, giving the portrait considerable character and presence.

The composition belongs to the late Victorian and Edwardian British tradition of sporting and animal portraiture associated with painters such as Samuel John Carter. The present painting is not attributed to Carter.
