Description: Sir Edwin (Henry) Landseer (British painter, draftsman, sculptor, etcher)Born London March 7, 1802-Died London October 1, 1873.In Victorian England, Sir Edwin Landseer's fame was widespread and his success and popularity made his name a household word among a broad public following, even enduring a long period of critical neglect. However, Landseer remained one of the most highly respected British painters of the 19th century and his works commanded high prices from collectors, the most eminent of whom was Queen Victoria who commissioned a large number of his works including genre paintings, portraits, and conversation pieces of the royal family and customarily the royal dogs as well. I’m unsure if this is an original Landseer, but everything about it makes me think it could be. I sent photos to a large auction house that told me there were no Herons in Great Britain, but they do have Grey Herons. The last photo shows an oil by Landseer from askArt of a similar Grey Heron. It’s signed, Sir Edwin Landseer, with “Paidfor the purchase with possibly the date, but hard to read. Landseer got his Sir title, when knighted by Queen Victoria in 1850. The canvas has been relined, on a 20 3/4” x17 1/8” stretcher, with minor in painting, mostly on the vegetation to the right of the Heron, the cattails and small amount on the body, corresponding to the patch on theback. Maybe someone can convince a large auction house, that there are Herons in Great Britain. A
