2 ) Irish Water Spaniel / Tweed Water Spaniel / Tweed Spaniel oil on canvas by provincial school artist Benjamin Brassett Wadham (English, 1816-1904)
An oil on canvas of an Irish Water Spaniel / Tweed Water Spaniel / Tweed Spaniel retrieving a Mallard drake within a beach scene, possibly the Northumberland coast, by the provincial school artist Benjamin Brassett Wadham (English, 1816-1804). Signed “B B Wadham” and dated “1855” Benjamin Brassett Wadham was known mainly for his landscapes, so perhaps this Water Spaniel is a family dog. Today the artist’s work can be seen in Salisbury & South Wiltshire Museum and the Grundy Art Gallery, Blackpool.
