EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil on canvas painting, we are introduced to Minna, a beloved dog of James, Marquess of Dalhousie. Created in 1857 by the talented artist Gourlay Steel, this artwork measures 100.3x125.7 cm and is currently held in a private collection under the care of The British Sporting Art Trust. Minna steals the spotlight with her charming presence as she sits gracefully upon a luxurious tigerskin rug. Her glossy coat shines beautifully against the rich background, showcasing her status as a cherished pet. With attentive eyes and alert ears, she embodies the qualities of a loyal gundog. The Marquess's affection for Minna is evident through his choice to immortalize her in this stunning portrait. He holds onto his walking stick or cane while standing beside her, emphasizing their close bond and shared adventures. This remarkable piece not only captures an intimate moment between man and dog but also serves as a testament to the enduring connection humans have with their animal companions throughout history. It reminds us that pets hold special places within our hearts and homes. Gourlay Steel's masterful brushwork brings Minna to life on canvas, preserving her beauty for generations to come. This painting stands as both an exquisite work of art and a heartfelt tribute to one man's adored canine companion - forever etched into history through fine artistry.
