A charming early 20th-century oil painting by K. Upton, depicting a handsome Border Collie standing outside a rustic kennel on a beach.

The painting captures the character of the dog against a coastal rural setting, with the kennel and shoreline creating an atmospheric backdrop. The traditional, naturalistic treatment and earthy palette give the work a wonderful period character.

The painting is signed by K. Upton and dated 1921, with the signature/date visible towards the lower part of the painting.

An appealing original work for collectors of antique dog portraits, animalier art, British rural subjects and early 20th-century paintings.
