Antique Signed Hunting Dog Oil Painting
Couldn't load pickup availability
The snipe is painted feather by feather, its long bill hanging past the dog's jaw while the dog looks off to one side, patient and a little unimpressed. A hunting dog and its catch sit in marsh reeds, with a misty hill and a few birds behind. The tight crop makes it more of a portrait than the usual dog in a landscape. Signed in red paint at lower left, though the name is not legible.
Antique condition consistent with age. The surface carries a glossy varnish layer, with small white specks scattered through the darker passages, most visible in the lower corners. These appear to be surface deposits or varnish effects. The painting has not been examined under UV light, so retouching has not been ruled out and none is claimed either way.
The canvas sits on a keyed wooden stretcher. The reverse shows two patches of clear tape and a white patch on the canvas, along with a faint horizontal line across the upper section. Whether the canvas has been relined has not been determined, and no labels, stamps, or inscriptions are present on the reverse.
The frame is gilt with molded ornament. There are hairline cracks at the lower left and upper right corners, with some loss to the molded ornament at those corners. The gilding shows wear along the edges. The backing is kraft paper with modern brass screw eyes and white cord.
Please review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.

Important Info About Antique & Vintage
Every antique and vintage item we carry has lived a life before arriving in your home. These are not factory-made products. They are objects with history, character, and the marks of time.
Age-appropriate wear, patina, minor imperfections, and signs of previous use or repair are inherent to antique and vintage items and are not considered defects. These characteristics are part of what makes each piece unique and are often what give it its beauty and value.
We describe the condition of each piece as accurately as possible in the listing. If you have specific questions about a piece before purchasing, please reach out. We are always happy to provide additional photos or details.
Colors may appear slightly different on screen due to monitor settings and photography lighting. We do our best to represent each item accurately.
Descriptions, dates, attributions, materials, and measurements are provided in good faith and reflect our best assessment based on research, physical examination, and the information available to us. Antique and vintage pieces often carry incomplete or unverifiable histories. Where a detail is an assessment rather than a confirmed fact, it is identified as such. Measurements are approximate. All items are sold as-is, with the photographs and condition report governing.
