Edward Armfield 19th C. Oil On Canvas

Fine Art : Paintings

 

A delightful 19th century oil on canvas in original frame painted by Edward Armfield (1817-1896.) Mr. Armfield was well-known for his charming paintings of sporting dogs, especially terriers which were a favorite subject of his. Purported to be a cousin of the other famous 19th century animal painter, George Armfield, their paintings are so similar that it is almost impossible to tell the difference without a signature. The painting is in good condition with slight craquelure commensurate with age and depicts three terriers “ratting.” It is set into a deeply molded Victorian frame; size 24” H x 21” W, size of visible image 15 1/4” H x 11 1/4” W.
