Om maleriet

Sir Edwin Landseer (1803-1873) was a prodigious artistic talent from an early age, entering the Royal Academy schools aged only 14. He was proficient both as a painter and a draughtsman and was elected a Royal Academician in 1831. During a long and distinguished career he exhibited 179 works at the Royal Academy and 94 at the British Institute. He enjoyed the patronage of the Royal family and is especially well known for the paintings he did for them of the life and landscape of the Scottish Highlands.

Although he painted portraits, Landseer's work predominantly deals with animals and human genre. This particular painting was exhibited at the British Institute in 1840. In his Catalogue of the Works of the Late Edwin Landseer, published in 1876, A. Graves states that the roebuck was shot by Lord Cosmo Russell, who was also the owner of the two upper dogs: Melody and Toddy. The painting is a good example of Landseer's ability to portray a patron's favourite dogs in an imaginative composition.
