Hi Mairi.

This is the painting I found on this website. Sorry it's so small, but you have to subscribe to the site to get access to a larger version.



The Dogs' Dinner, 1884 (oil on canvas), by Robert Alexander [1840-1923].

For more information please contact the Bridgeman Art Library on 020 7727 4065 and the Fleming-Wyfold Art Foundation on 020 7282 4489

Haven't found any more information on Robert Alexander so far, but I'll keep hunting!

Thanks for the info, Kaz. I can see you've been hard at work even though you have a mission to undertake for Boris and I appreciate all your help.

I'll keep looking too because it's hard to believe that a man who lived to the age of 83 has only painted 2 pictures in his lifetime and both of them of dogs!

This is one of the paintings i like
I love cats

[Romantic Old Bird]

Mairi - this is also by Robert L Alexander, and it is called 'Setters Resting'

I can't print it but it should be HERE

Brilliant, ROB. I didn't realise I had such good detectives as friends. That's the third "dog" picture by Robert Alexander now. Are there any more, I wonder??

And, Amy, I LOVE that cat picture. It's absolutely gorgeous.
