CONDITION:
Very good vintage condition. The lithograph presents beautifully with no visible tears, foxing, or discoloration to the artwork. The colors remain rich and softly saturated. The wooden frame shows light, age-appropriate wear at the edges consistent with decades of careful display. No cracks to the glass or structural issues noted. Ready to hang.
SIZE:
Overall framed dimensions: 25" long x 21" tall x 1.5" deep
PROVENANCE:
This is a vintage sporting dog lithograph, depicting two resting spaniels in a grassy woodland setting. The soft, painterly style and subject matter are classic of mid-20th-century European and American sporting prints, created for display in studies, libraries, hunting lodges, and equestrian homes. The composition reflects the longstanding tradition of canine sporting art celebrating field dogs at rest between work.
ARTIST:
"Now for the Flush" or "Two Setters" by German-American artist Gustav Muss-Arnolt (1858-1927).
Signed in the plate “G. Muss-Arnolt” at lower right.
MATERIAL:
Printed lithograph on paper under glass, housed in a solid wood frame.
WHY WE LOVE THIS:
This piece is pure quiet sporting elegance. The relaxed pose of the spaniels, nestled into tall grass under warm autumn foliage, feels intimate, peaceful, and timeless. It brings warmth without noise — the kind of art that anchors a space rather than dominates it. Perfect for an English-style study, a library wall, a dog-lover’s office, or layered into a refined equestrian gallery wall.
