Sawrey Gilpin RA (1733 - 1807)
RA Collection: Art
Gilpin is best known as a painter of horses but like his friend Philip Reinagle, who possibly owned this sketch, he also produced many paintings of dogs. Gilpin's formal compositions typically depict the dogs in profile but this almost sentimental sketch is probably unrelated to any of his commissioned works.
