A charming oil on canvas of a dog called ‘Nick’ by Wasdell Tricket. The portrait is beautifully worked, quickly and confidently capturing the animal wonderfully. The painting has been professionally cleaned and is in excellent condition. The piece has the original oval mount but has been framed in a later frame. The work is dated 1922 and signed on the front in a very bold way, and also with the title as is so often the case for this artist. Wasdell Tricket was a specialist horse and animal painter working in the first part of the twentieth century. He was prolific but did not exhibit so there is little biographical record of him and indeed it seems he may have used a variety of names as purely commercial artists often did. The work of Wasdell Tricket is always of a high standard and is very desirable. This piece is a great example of his dog portraiture and has a wonderful decorative appeal.Overall sizes in inches, including frame: 18 by 22At Prometheus Antiques we want ou...
