A large pair of Victorian reverse paintings on glass of Newfoundland dogs

A large pair of reverse painted on glass paintings of Newfoundland dogs after Landseer.   The first is after Sir Edwin Landseer's: "A distinguished member of the humane society" and the second is after Landseer's 'He is saved'.   Landseer's 19th century paintings were so popular that the distinctive black and white variety of Newfoundland officially bears his name.

These reverse paintings on glass, in what is their original frames,  remain bright and vibrant with delightfully rippled 19th century glass.  The frames are worn and somewhat crudely repaired in places.    The painting, after 'He is saved' has had the back replaced  as the glass appears to have broken at the top right.  This has been repainted and matched in although a faint line remains.   The other painting's backing is original.

Measuring: (Frame)  66 cm x 54 cm

British, late 19th century
