Painting dates back to 1894 the paintings was done with M’s unique painting style which looked like a sketch it was most likely that M was commissioned to paint this piece by Fox hunters or Hound Masters paintings by John M has become increasingly popular in the past couple of years however at

Of the typical features of qu are the the bowl is made up of these sections that are fixed together the mounts as well have this scratch engraving around here which is quite crudely done looking around the sides there appears to be no Hallmarks which is not uncommon on

Old family friend of my my parents a woman called Mrs Smith we lived in a tourament building so she had this hanging in the wall of a tenant building in Glasgow and my parents took care of her um for about 40 years and when she died she left that to them what makes

This painting really interesting is that I think it’s from the arguably best decade of his career which is the 1890s what made the 1890s special is that it was very shortly after Hornell trip to Japan we have this lovely little upright format close cropping and very decorative painting also it has this
