AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

painting will be shipped WITHOUT frame. You can pickup the painting with the original frame only..
Bristol born George Armfield, son of portrait artist William Armfield Hobday, lived nearly all his life in the capital and made a very good living out of painting domestic animal portraits. Most famous for his paintings of dogs, hounds, gun dogs such as spaniels and particularly terriers, George Armfield nearly always depicted 'ratting', terriers flushing out a bird or chasing a cat. He was a fine British sporting artist, also painting horses, foxes, deer, otters,and rabbits, in a realistic way.

With failing eyesight in his later life, his general format for paintings changed to much smaller works, usually painted on canvas.
