EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print, titled "Portrait of Lord Rivers with two Greyhounds" transports us back to the early 19th century. Painted by Jacques-Laurent Agasse in approximately 1825, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases the esteemed Lord Rivers alongside his loyal greyhound companions. Lord George Pitt, the 2nd Baron Rivers of Stratfield Saye in Hampshire, is depicted standing proudly amidst a picturesque country landscape. The artist skillfully captures his subject's regal presence and love for sporting pursuits. With their sleek bodies and alert expressions, the two greyhounds stand faithfully at Lord Rivers' side, embodying elegance and grace. The painting exudes a sense of movement as if frozen in time during a leisurely walk or perhaps even an exhilarating hare chase. Lord Rivers holds a walking stick or cane firmly in hand while strolling through nature's beauty with his beloved pets by his side. Agasse's attention to detail is evident throughout this remarkable piece. From the intricate brushstrokes that bring life to every strand of fur on the dogs' coats to the vibrant colors that breathe vitality into each blade of grass beneath their feet – it is truly a work of artistry. This print allows us to appreciate not only Agasse's talent but also offers insight into an era where aristocracy embraced both fine portraiture and their cherished animal companions. It serves as a timeless reminder of our enduring connection with animals and our desire to capture moments that hold significance for generations to
