Oil on canvas, pointer in a Norfolk landscape
A late nineteenth-century sporting oil with a steady pointer, flat Norfolk light and just enough weather.
Description
The dog is well observed, the landscape quiet rather than theatrical, and the whole thing has the confidence of a painting made for a house, not a hotel corridor.
