Early 20th Century Sporting Painting of a Springer Spaniel and Pheasant

This is a framed original sporting artwork, likely a gouache or watercolor on paper, depicting a liver and white English Springer Spaniel in a field flushing a pheasant. The canine subject is rendered with fine detail, showing characteristic feathered fur and typical sporting breed markings. The background features a late-autumnal palette of ochres, browns, and muted greens, with skeletal trees and tall grasses suggestive of a hunting marsh or woodland edge. The composition is typical of the English Sporting Art style popular in the early 20th century, specifically the 1920s as indicated by the context provided. The artwork is housed in a simple dark wooden frame with a multi-layered cream mat. Notable condition issues include visible foxing and age-related yellowing (toning) across the paper, particularly in the sky area. There is some minor waving of the paper under the glass, indicating it may not be mounted to an acid-free board. The lack of a visible signature in this view suggests it could be an accomplished amateur work or that the signature is hidden by the mat. The craftsmanship is high, with excellent anatomical accuracy in the dog's posture and the pheasant's flight movement.
