Antique Original English Oil Painting of a Hound in a Stable, c.1921, Signed K. Upton

*This piece ships after October 15th.

A wonderfully atmospheric original oil painting depicting a seated hound in a rustic stable interior, signed K. Upton and dated 1921. The hound is beautifully observed against a dark, moody backdrop, with a small stable window, hanging tack, scattered straw and timber details creating the unmistakable character of traditional English sporting art. Its unusually tall, narrow composition and richly aged surface give the piece tremendous decorative presence and an authentic country-house quality.

CONDITION
Antique condition with visible age and wear throughout, including surface scratches, abrasions, areas of paint loss and flaking, and wear around the edges. These imperfections are consistent with the painting's age and contribute to its wonderfully timeworn character. This piece is unframed.
