George Armfield (1808-1893) t.a., Attributed to - Drie terriërs in afwachting van

A beautiful painting by George Armfield, three terriers looking expectantly at...undoubtedly something interesting. The work has been marouflaged, which is probably why there's no signature (perhaps a small remnant), because in my opinion, the work was slightly reduced in size and marouflaged to fit the beautiful classical frame. Despite the missing signature, it is unmistakably a work by George Armfield (1808-1893), hence the addition "t.a.", or "attributed to" (see the attached note from a previous owner).
Oil on canvas mounted on panel, panel size 25x36cm, incl. frame the size is 37x46cm.

George Armfield was a British genre artist who specialized in oil paintings of domestic dogs. Armfeld professed a great love for animals, and his commissions of dogs and horses were highly sought after during his lifetime. He preferred painting hunting dogs to other popular subjects, and Armfeld's broad, vibrant brushstrokes captured the earthy tones of fur and grass. Born George Armfield Smith in Wales in 1808, he was the son of portrait painter William Armfield Hobday, from whom he learned his craft. The precocious artist began his career at the young age of 16 when he exhibited his first painting at the Royal Academy: it was of Lion, a beloved Newfoundland dog. Today, Armfield's work is held in the collections of the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and the Glasgow Art Gallery in Glasgow, among many others. Armfield died in August 1893 in Clapham, England.
