Mr Pares' Coachman with a Newfoundland Dog (1823)
by
John E. Ferneley
John Ferneley (1782 - 1860) — who is also identified as "John Ferneley Sr.," as his son John Ferneley Jr. was also a well-known painter (to say nothing of his son Claude Lorraine Ferneley, also an artist) — was an English painter primarily of sporting subjects, particularly race- and hunting horses. He was a well-known and popular painter in his lifetime.
This is a notable work in the canon of Newfoundland represenations, as it is one of the earliest datable works I have found which unequivocally depics a black Newfoundland. But see Daniel Clowes'A Pair of Hunters, Held by a Groom, with a Newfoundland Dog by a Lake (early 19th Century) and Thomas Gainesborough's Portrait of Sir Hugh Owen (1786).
