Animal painter Anton Weinberger produced canine portraiture in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. As in much of Europe, the German upper and middle classes enjoyed hunting and sportsmen treasured art with their outdoor passion as its theme. In this classic Weinberger, two hunting dogs alert their master to the game in the marsh on an overcast autumn morning.
