Provenance
Christie's sale, 2 November 1998, lot 173
Twinight Collection

The panels are taken from The Rev. W D Daniel's Rural Sports, published in 1802. The two pointers are named in the source print as 'Pluto and Juno'. Reportedly when the artist drew the pair, belonging to a Colonel Thornton, 'as a proof of (their) steadiness as pointers, they kept their point when Mr Gilpin took the sketch...upwards of one hour and a quarter.' See lot 18 in this sale for another example of hunting dogs copied from Daniel.

A painter at Derby has used the same print of a foxhound and her puppies with a similar gilt vine border to decorate a cylindrical mug, see J C Holdaway, The Influence of 18th Century Naturalists in Ceramic Decoration, ECC Trans. Vol 12, Part 1, pl.6c.
