Edmund Henry Osthaus was born at Hildesheim in Germany and studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Dusseldorf, 1874-82. He emigrated to the United States in 1883 and was director of the Toledo Academy of Fine Arts between 1886-1893, 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 Field Trial Association formed at Newton, North Carolina in November 1895. He is best-known for his pictures of champion Setters and Pointers.
