Edwin Landseer - The Dying Stag

If this is not a work by Edwin Landseer then it is by someone better. The quality of this work is just magnificent and I don't say that lightly. The drawing is unsigned which surprises me, it has got to be a a major Victorian artist. As you can see it depicts a figure holding a dead stag with other game birds in the foreground. The study of the 2 dogs is breath-taking. It is executed in pencil, conte and heightened with white. It comes unframed but has a gold mount. This must be a full scale work for a major oil painting and the buy it now price reflects the importance of this fine work of art.
