Sir Edwin Henry Landseer, 1826 - A Deerhound - fine art print

Additional description by The Metropolitan Museum of Art website (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

Deerhounds were bred to hunt deer by running them down, a method known as coursing or deer stalking. In this study, Landseer sympathetically captured his subject’s vivacity and poise. The dog appears in a similar pose, nuzzling under the hand of his master, the Duke of Gordon, in Landseer’s Scene in the Scottish Highlands (ca. 1825–28; private collection). The painting was one of the artist’s first aristocratic hunting portraits, and it bolstered his meteoric rise as Britain’s premier painter of animal and sporting pictures.
