Hunter with Pointer and Gordon Setter, 1906.
Oil on canvas.
Private Collection.
Gordons are pretty much unheard of these days. Tom McGuane had one and wrote a good story about her. Gracie, maybe? Nothing online that I can find. I do remember it being in an obscure mag or something.
I have to wonder what is being hunted in the pic. Snipe? Ptarmigan? I am reminded of an old blog that claimed a local setter line in Newfoundland. Ptarmigan were the quarry. The terrain there is similar.
I didn’t’ see much but there was this FB group I didn’t look at.
