It is not known by some that portraits of favored pet dogs are honored in English drawing rooms, immortalized on these very walls. Now, it is as if real life counterparts of pedigree dog paintings found at almost every wall in New York City home enjoy strolling throughout Central Park and many other venues. No matter if a dog is at play, at rest, have a collar of leather of cute ribbons, if he is in a canvas, there will be so many takers and this is all due to the fact that English style interiors have become increasingly popular as people remain steadfastly devoted to canines, known also as man's very best friend.
Dogs owned by Englishmen are truly loved and these are held very dearly, close to their hearts, homes and even portraits of kin. Ones described as hunting, racing, shooting and doggy portraits have sold immensely ever since 1961, when the auction house began to put these up for auction. The prolific artist made a killing from the picture of a Newfoundland, a black and white dog, after selling it to an artist that was into sporting themed pieces.
Immersing oneself in 18th and mostly 19th century paintings enables one to move back and forth in time, through eras. It is the people who aim to go to activities beyond their social range like hunting, or perhaps shooting with jackets, hounds and horses that are known to be fond clients of such portraits. Believing that there are tons of dog painting lovers out there, an antiques dealer and interior designer opened her own little art shop in the Manhattan district. And you will find here that there are so many dog portraits on blue and white covered walls, along with a few portraits of horses and cows.
Two kinds surfaces when it comes to people collecting pieces of arts. First we have people wanting a certain portrait as the dog there is one that is the same with what they have. The second one are those who know the breed in and out and thus want to see if the dog in the painting was done to give justice to the real anatomical structure of the canine. These portraits are sometimes good enough substitutes for real life dogs that bark and walk. There is never a need to walk or feed these dogs. A person who works as an interior decorator bought a few dog portraits when he was in London and even if he was a dog lover he called this deed silly but now, he witnesses dog portrait trading as a growing and very expensive trend.
This decorator now has a proud array of these canine dog paintings, where some are hanging in taffeta bows at his Manhattan apartment, all 75 of them. While the speculation of most art specialists and dealers commonly note that portrait quality and artist dictate the price of one, still some people would say that like the way fashions in real dogs fluctuate, there are portraits of dog breeds that will always be more wanted than other ones. Many dog art collectors only wanted Cavalier King Charles Spaniel paintings then but now, West Highland Terriers, Scotties and Cairn paintings are also being very sought after. By way of a portrait, a German shepherd can stay with you.
The years 1850 to 1920 saw the heyday of dog painting trading, shares a dealer residing in a Manhattan bedroom apartment, living on selling dog paintings. He recounts that there was an influx of people looking for King Charles spaniels, Chinese shar peis as well as portraits of terriers. But in the last year he had about 10 requests for paintings of doberman pinschers. Dobermans were only developed in the late 1880s and are such a recent breed thus there are practically no good paintings of them as he said he has never had a good Doberman painting.
Various occasions are used by this artist to auction out these sporting paintings. We would witness some of the bidders showcasing designs that echo that of a famous fashion designer and then there are those who are into hunting and racing and enjoy living in country homes. A lady who served a huge network as female advertising account executive decided to get herself a nice Spaniel painting upon gazing at an alluring black and white photograph of a dog. To match the painting, she spent her waiting time by buying an actual spaniel, with a ruby red coat. Three months passed and she got her portrait but such did not match with her real dog for it turned out to be a King Charles breed that was black and tan so she got an unmatched canine pair.
