Very well painted and striking original oil, by the listed artist Judi Kent Pyrah, painted in 2000.
A portrait of magnificent Doberman sitting in front of a Famille Verte Chinese Planter framed with foliage. A fine example of the artist's work, the addition of the background elevating the painting far above a mere well painted dog portrait.
On the reverse of the board is a second painting - an un-finished study of a tiger.
Signed and dated '00 lower right.
Oils on board (Masonite), in an antique gilt frame with foliate mouldings and gilt slip.
Painting in excellent original condition (see photos), frame with some slight nicks and scratches (see photos).

years. Her work has been exhibited and published in Canada and America for many
years and more recently in the UK, with over fifty published works featuring

With a lifetime's experience working with horses Judi Kent
Pyrah has a special fondness for Arabians that is evident in her work. From a
young age and throughout her early years She found many opportunities to work
with horses in private yards exercising hunters, polo ponies, pacers and
western riding. She has travelled
extensively, providing her with in depth knowledge and experience in all
aspects of equestrianism and wildlife which proves to be an endless source of
inspiration for her art.
Many of her paintings have been reproduced as fine art,
limited edition prints and her original work is held in important collections
across the world.
The Dobermann is a German breed of medium-large
working dog of pinscher type. In Canada and the United States it is known as
the Doberman Pinscher. It was originally bred in Thuringia in about 1890 by
Louis Dobermann, a tax collector. It has a long muzzle and – ideally – an even
and graceful gait. The ears were traditionally cropped and the tail docked,
practices which are now illegal in many countries.
The Dobermann is intelligent, alert and tenaciously loyal;
it is kept as a guard dog or as a companion animal.
