Edmund Henry Osthaus (German/American, 1858-1928) one of America's greatest sporting-dog artists, he painted a series of portraits of the National Field Trial Championship winners. Osthaus painted every winning dog from 1896 through 1910. The critic Chad Mason commented, 'His landscapes are vivid, haunting, densely colored and three-dimensioned with the long shadows and faint mist of morning. A typical Osthaus work is at once two paintings: a master landscape and a dog portrait.' (C. Mason, 'The Canine Canvas', Gun Dog Magazine, 2004, p. 55).
