L.S.B Pollock 19th Century English Pointer in Wheat Field

This 1873 watercolour painting by L.S.B. Pollock is a classic example of Victorian sporting art, depicting a liver-and-white English Pointer frozen in a focused "on point" stance. The artist captures the dog’s lean musculature and intense concentration against a rustic landscape of tall, golden grasses and a pale, hazy sky that suggests a coastal or moorland setting. Pollocks work reflects the high demand for canine portraiture among the 19th-century British gentry, who commissioned such pieces to celebrate the skill and pedigree of their hunting dogs. The picture frame is plastered and decorated in a simulated-wood design to compliment it's quality. The rear is paper covered with an additional provenance label. In excellent condition with no faults to the artwork. Total dimensions; Width 71.5cm Height 60cm
