George Armfield 1808 - 1893 (circle of)

Although I cannot find a signature this stunning oil on canvas dating to late 19th Century is clearly the work of an accomplished artist and in my opinion was painted by the master himself George Armfield.A wonderful atmospheric study of terriers ratting in a woodland setting. The painting has been professionally relined at some point in its life and it is in wonderful condition.

Canvas Measures 23" x 18"
Frame Measures 30" x 26"


George Armfield Smith (better known as George Armfield) was born and lived his life in London. He was an avid sportsman as well as being a prolific and popular painter of sporting subjects. Armfield exhibited between 1830 and 1839 under the name G. A. Smith but used George Armfield thereafter. He exhibited thirty two paintings at the Royal Academy between 1840 and 1862 and exhibited regularly at the British Institute and at the Suffolk Street Galleries until 1875.
