拍品专文

Douglas' paintings, both in watercolour and oil, show 'a detailed and delicate finish' (W. Secord, Dog Painting, Woodbridge, 1992, p.344). He lived in Barnes, south-west London, and exhibited ten pictures at the Royal Academy between 1880 and 1892, all of which were hunting scenes. The present work, dated 1882, is typical of this period in the artist's career. He also painted portraits of horses, dogs and group portraits, such as Lord Portman's Hounds: The East Dorset, which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1890.
