About: This delightful oil on wood panel by John Eaton Walker (England, c. 1824-1896) features playful interaction between a vexing emerald parrot and apprehensive puppy. Eaton’s detailed handling of light and shadow are on full display while the cheeky subject matter is thoroughly disarming. Signed “J Eaton Walker ‘69”.
Why We Love It: The depth and detail of this piece are everything you want them to be, while the subject matter puts it over the top. The puppy’s tense gaze, along with the exquisite detail in the parrot’s feathers and bindings, draws the viewer in. A wee masterpiece
Condition: Excellent overall condition. The piece has likely been cleaned in its lifetime and may have been re-varnished. It shows extraordinarily well. The gilt-over-bole frame is likely unoriginal and, although in decent condition and included in the sale, should not be a consideration in the purchase. Scuffing from the original frame is evident in the panel’s finish.
Dims: Panel measures 18” Wide x 24” High. Frame overall is 21.24 Wide x 27 Tall.
Location: Sperryville, VA
