Edmund Henry Osthaus (German-American, 1858-1928): English Setter. Offset Lithograph mounted to heavy cardboard, unframed, signed in plate.

Edmund Henry Osthaus was a painter and avid sportsman who owned champion, prizewinning field dogs. He is remembered for his sporting scenes and landscapes which usually featured pedigreed dogs. An Ohio newspaper once said of his works, "The Osthaus dogs are not 'studio' dogs. They live on the canvas as they live in the field, transferred by some magic of brain and hand from trail to canvas.'-"

12 x 18 inches.

Private collection, Madison, Wisconsin, USA.
