180066 AFTER EDM. H. OSTHAUS ORIGINAL OIL DOG PAINTING After Edmund Henry Osthaus (1858-1928, German) original oil dog painting. This painting was created by an unknown artist after the time of Henry. He is not only a superb painter of dogs but also oflandscapes. His experience in the field shines through most clearly in the landscapes into which he placed the dogs. The critic Chad Mason commented, 'His landscapes are vivid, haunting, densely colored andthree-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.' Size: 45.5 X 56.5", 51.5 X 63.5" frame Condition:Very fine.

Copley Fine Art Auctions, Plymouth, Massachusetts, sale of February 19, 2021, lot 41. Acquired directly from the above sale. The Estate of Gwynne Garbisch McDevitt, Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. Lot Essay Hunting-and-sporting-dog artist Edmund Henry Osthaus is renowned for his anatomically accurate and highly detailed depictions of field dogs in action, as in the present work, Pointer with Quail (1890). With its short, coarse coat, white-and-liver coloring and sleek, strong body, the dog stands at attention, gripping the day’s spoils in its mouth. The landscape that surrounds the dog—rendered in a late-autumn palette of camel-brown and copper—is also superbly treated, and is a testament to Osthaus’s firsthand experience in the field. An avid shooter and outdoorsman, the artist possessed an intimate knowledge of American hunting and sporting dogs and their environment. By the turn of the 20th century, Osthaus’s images had earned him widespread acclaim. Writing in 1907, the pinnacle of the artist’s career, critic Charles Wisner Barrell concluded that “[the] dog...has found among painters very few truthful delineators. Many artists have essayed to paint dogs occasionally...but nearly always they have used the animals as foils for the accentuation of human characteristics, or as appropriate figures in landscapes, or they have boldly twisted canine attributes into all but human caricatures...Up to the present time, perhaps the only painter who has earnestly and successfully sought to realize this...unidealized delineation of canine types is the German-American artist of Toledo, Ohio, Edmund H. Osthaus.” In addition to his technical prowess, Osthaus's paintings also reveal a richness that transcends mere representation. The artist skillfully conveys the nobility and loyalty inherent in these hunting dogs, elevating his works beyond genre scenes to pointed reflections on the human-animal bond. Osthaus's ability to capture the essence of sporting culture is on full display in Pointer with Quail, memorializing man's partnership with his four-legged hunting companions.

Edmund Osthaus (German/American, 1858-1928) Two Hunting Dogs
Est: $10,000 - $15,000
Edmund Osthaus (German/American, 1858-1928) Two Hunting Dogs watercolor signed Edmund Osthaus (lower left) 14 x 21 inches inches Property from the Collection of Kristin Masterson After completing his studies in Dusseldorf, Edmund Osthaus came to the United States in 1883, settled near his parents, who had moved from their native Germany to Ohio, and took a post as chief instructor at the Toledo Academy of Fine of Art. When the school closed, Osthaus, a keen hunter and angler, went on to fame as the foremost American painter of sporting dogs. Osthaus followed dog shows and sporting exhibitions across the nation, visiting shooting and fishing lodges, and executing commissions all along the way. Hunting Scene is a classic Edmund Osthaus sporting watercolor. Osthaus often painted dogs in pairs, contrasting breeds and coloration, and is especially noted for his ability to convey the glossiness of the canines' coats in watercolor and for his portrayals of setters and pointers on high alert, as they are in Hunting Scene. In order to suggest the tension of the moment, the artist renders the environment, the grasses and trees of this thicket, with energetic, rhythmic brushstrokes. This kind of naturalism, that is, realism made to serve the subject, is another characteristic that makes Osthaus's work so special. -James D. Balestrieri

Edmund Henry Osthaus (1858-1928) Etching
Est: $800 - $1,600
Edmund Henry Osthaus (German-American, 1858-1928). Known for his etchings of Hunting dogs. Born in Hildesheim, Germany, Edmund Osthaus studied at the Royal Academy of Arts between 1874 and 1882. There in Dusseldorf he was instructed by noted artists Andreas Muller, Peter Jansen, E.V. Gebhardt, E. Deger and later by Christian Kroner a wildlife painter and landscapist. Osthaus immigrated to the United States in 1883 to be with his parents in Ohio. He eventually became the chief instructor of the Toledo Academy of Fine Arts, and later the director of the Academy between 1886 and 1893. After he resigned, Osthaus devoted his time to shooting and painting for his own fulfillment. Osthaus knew dogs comprehensively and participated in field trials and confirmation shows with his own setters and pointers. Furthermore, he judged trials and was a charter member of the National Field Trial Association formed in Newton, North Carolina in 1895. His immersion in the world of competitive gun dogs provided abundant subject matter. True to his classical art education, Osthaus executed detailed and life-like portraits of dogs in the field at work, and at play and rest. His mediums were watercolor, oil and pencil. Many of his paintings included field trial champion pointers and setters. Generally he executed compositions of one, two or three dogs and on occasion more, working from life. His paintings are captivating and pull viewers into the composition - one can easily imagine his dogs running afield and moments of suspense from the hunt. Osthaus painted setters which display a traditional sitting position. Setters were derived from medieval hunting dogs that were trained to find birds and then to "set" (crouch or lie down) so that a net could be thrown over both the birds and dog. As firearms came into use, setters were trained to adopt a more upright stance. Over time, training elevated the tail of setters and pointers to an upright position. The artist's paintings came into great demand in the late 1890's. Wealthy families and collectors, such as the Vanderbilts and Morgans, became patrons commissioning large scenes for their lavish homes. Also, Osthaus furthered his reputation with a series of postcards, prints, and calendar pictures done for the DuPont Company. Osthaus established a studio in Los Angeles, California in 1911 and stayed there for the remainder of his life. However, he traveled frequently, painting throughout the States. He maintained homes in Ohio and New Jersey, and wintered on his hunting property in Marianna, Florida. On January 30, 1928, at the age of seventy, Osthaus passed away while at his Florida lodge. Today he is best known for having chronicled the American field dog and producing a sizable body of scenes of gun dogs at work of exceptional quality. Overall Size: 9 x 12 1/2 in. Sight Size: 4 x 6 in.
