Brindle French Bulldog Head Study With Collar by Monica Gray
The William Secord Gallery, the premier gallery specializing in fine 19th century dog and animal paintings is holding a special exhibition to coincide with the Westminster Dog Show. Nineteenth Century Dog Paintings opens on February 9 and runs until March 22, 2008. If you can't make it to New York, view the wonderful paintings online.
Here are some of my favorites.
Jumbo, Cherie, Salembo, Chloe and Topsy by the British School
Dachshunds At Rest by Ludwig Voltz
William Secord is the world authority on nineteenth century dog painting and the author of three excellent books on the subject; Dog Painting 1840-1940, Dog Painting, The European Breeds
, and A Breed Apart, The Art Collections of The American Kennel Club
