Born in Scotland, Philip Reinagle became a pupil and assistant to the portrait painter Allan Ramsay at the age of fourteen. He was admitted to the Royal Academy Schools in 1769. His landscape paintings were influenced by the Dutch artists, Ruysdael, Hobbema, Wynants and Wouvermans. He specialised in portraits of dogs, cattle and birds while also depicting lively hunting and shooting scenes. He was a prolific exhibitor at the Royal Academy and was elected an associate in 1787 and an Academician in 1812. He also exhibited at the British Institution. Between 1806 and 1836 over forty prints from his paintings were published.
George Morland was a child prodigy. His father Henry Robert Morland was a London artist and art dealer whose ability as a painter was soon overtaken by his son: George's Sketches were exhibited at the Royal Academy when he was aged ten. He entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1784. He undertook many commissions both privately and for picture and print dealers. His principle subjects were country pursuits including hunting and fishing. He exhibited 119 paintings at the Royal Academy and over 250 plates of his pictures were reproduced.
When exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery in 1890, this picture was listed as 'Philip Reinagle (with George Morland)'. Although it was not unusual for artists to collaborate on pictures in the late 18th century, in 1931 Shaw Sparrow described it as by Philip Reinagle and indeed there is little evidence to suggest Morland contributed to the picture.
