Known as Schottischer Terrier, the composition is executed with the fine, confident linework characteristic of Forster’s graphic work and is signed in pencil by the artist beneath the image.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForster studied at the prestigious Munich Academy of Fine Arts beginning in 1910 under Peter von Halm, whose teaching focused heavily on etching and printmaking. Forster later exhibited with the Munich Secession, placing his work within an important period of early 20th-century German art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe etching remains beautifully presented beneath glass in its original dark wood frame and period matting. Its diminutive scale, restrained palette and wonderfully specific canine subject give it exactly the collected, old-world quality that makes antique sporting and dog artwork so appealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCirca 1910–1921.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003eVery good antique condition with expected age-related toning, scattered foxing and spotting to the paper and visible mellowing to the original mat. The original wood frame shows minor age-appropriate wear. These characteristics are consistent with a work more than a century old and contribute to its authentic period presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIZE\u003cbr\u003eApproximately 11.5\" H x 10\" W overall, framed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePROVENANCE\u003cbr\u003eEarly 20th-century German work retaining its original period framing and presentation.

We especially love it paired with antique dog bronzes, equestrian trophies, leather-bound books and other sporting artwork. Its small scale makes it particularly good for tucking into a highly layered vignette or hanging above a tabletop arrangement where the wonderful Scottie subject can be appreciated up close.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martingale East","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49107110691060,"sku":null,"price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/6782\/9748\/files\/Scottie_Dog_Etching.png?v=1786369044","url":"https:\/\/martingaleeast.com\/products\/antique-anton-forster-signed-original-etching-schottischer-terrier-scottish-terrier-c-1910-1921","provider":"Martingale East","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
