Margaret D.Anderson ARMS Pastel English Setter Margaret Anderson ARMS 1926-1998 Pastel %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
This is a beautifully executed portrait of an English Setter in pastels on a green ground by the Hampshire artist Margaret Denise Anderson, ARMS ( Associate of the Royal Miniature Society), who has signed the pastel in the lower right hand corner. The Setter is a liver and white, or liver belton as they are described.
The English Setter is a medium-size breed of dog. It is part of the setter group, which includes the red Irish Setters, Irish Red and White Setters, and black-and-tan Gordon Setters. The mainly white body coat is of medium length with long silky fringes on the back of the legs, under the belly and on the tail. The coat features flecks of colour (known as ticking), and the different colour varieties are referred to as belton.

A gentle but at times strong-willed, mischievous gun dog, bred for a mix of endurance and athleticism, it is used to hunt for game such as quail, pheasant and grouse. When working, the dog will hunt methodically seeking the airborne scent of its prey. It is sometimes referred to as the Laverack or Llewellin Setter as these were famous strains of the breed during the major development period in the 19th century. Those from hunting stock are generally of a finer build and with less coat than those bred for show exhibition.

.
Margaret Denise Anderson was born in 1926 and died in the Southampton area of Hampshire in 1998. She was jbiw primarily as a pastel artist who specialised in canine portraits, in miniature and full size. This particular work is undated, but a lot of her pieces are dated in the 70s and 80s.

The portrait has been newly double mounted in two-tone acid-free mountboard and is newly framed in a 1 3/16 inch bronze gilt frame that suits it very well. It will be supplied with new brass hangers, new brass picture wire and will be ready to hang.
