A framed color sporting print by the celebrated French-Russian artist Boris Riab (Boris Riabouchinsky, 1898–1975), depicting an English Pointer retrieving a partridge. The dog's glossy black head and finely stippled coat are rendered with the detail that made Riab one of the most collected names in 20th-century sporting art.
Pencil-signed "B. Riab" in the lower right. Printed by his longtime Paris publisher with the copyright inscription along the upper margin: "Copyright by Ch. Ducher et Cie, 35, Av. de l'Opéra, Paris, n° 796." Presented under glass in a warm burl-wood frame with a soft gray-blue double mat and hand-drawn French mat lines.
The print likely dates to the 1940s, but we are not certain of the exact date.
Riab fled Russia in 1917 and settled in France in 1927, building his reputation on watercolors and limited-edition engravings of gundogs and game birds. His work remains a favorite among sporting-art collectors, hunters, and admirers of English country and lodge décor.
A handsome, ready-to-hang piece for a study, library, cabin, or gallery wall.
The frame measures 20" H x 25" W x 0.75" D and the print measures 12" H x 16" W.
