What periods do these artworks cover?

The listings on this page span from the seventeenth century through to the mid-twentieth century. Victorian and Edwardian pieces form the largest group. Earlier examples from the Regency and Georgian eras also appear, offering a view into historical canine portraiture.

How are these pieces displayed at home?

Most works come ready to hang in their original or period-appropriate frames, such as burr maple or giltwood. They suit traditional studies, hallways, and living rooms. Smaller etchings and prints require careful placement away from direct sunlight to protect the paper supports.

What is the difference between an oil painting and an etching?

Oil paintings utilise pigments suspended in oil on canvas or wood boards, offering rich textures and varied brushwork. They represent unique, one-off creations by the artist. Etchings are works on paper created by printing from an incised metal plate, allowing for fine linear detail across multiple impressions.

Are these works signed by the artists?

Many pieces feature artist signatures, inscriptions, or attribution to known painters, etchers, and printmakers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Unsigned works often reflect the broader output of contemporary school painters or folk-art traditions from the same periods.
