This oil painting on gessoed wood panel is c. 1850, and done in a manner similar to George Armfield (British b. 1808, d. 1893). Armfield was particularly known for his paintings or terrier type dogs, often in a dynamic pose such as chasing prey. The painting appears to have an old master style ochre under painting with areas of glazing, particularly in the dog. Acquired from an estate in West Germany.
Painting appears to be unsigned
