Lot Essay

Edmund Henry Osthaus was born at Hildesheim in Germany and studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Dusseldorf between 1874 and 1882. He emigrated to the United States in 1883 and was director of the Toledo Academy of Fine Arts between 1886 and 1893, when he left to devote himself full-time to dog painting. He was actively involved in field trials and a charter member of the National Trial Association formed at Newton, North Carolina in November 1895. He is best-known for his pictures of champion Setters and Pointers in the field.
