The print, titled 'Setters', was published in New York in the early 20th century by the 'Art Group Inc.', known for producing fine animal portraits and decorative art prints during the 1920s–1930s. Paul Wood, a noted American illustrator and animal artist, was admired for his sensitive portrayal of pedigree dogs. Here, he renders the setters with remarkable precision and character: the rich chestnut and black coat of the Gordon Setter contrasts beautifully with the silvery, speckled fur of the English Setter. Their intelligent, gentle expressions and soft fur textures reveal both artistic talent and a genuine affection for the animals. Printed on quality cream wove paper, this lithograph combines realism with the timeless aesthetic of early 20th-century canine portraiture, making it ideal for dog lovers and collectors of vintage animal art. It is part of a series of prints by Wood that celebrated beloved breeds with elegance and restraint. Condition: Very good for its age, with crisp lines and vibrant color retention. Very minor toning in margins, not affecting the image. Framing tips: A dark walnut or oak frame with a warm ivory mat would beautifully enhance the natural tones of the dogs and add classic sophistication. Perfect for a study, library, or country home interior. Technique: Lithograph Maker: Paul Wood, The Art Group Inc., New York, circa 1930s See less
