Excerpt from Illustrated Catalogue of the Notable Paintings by the Great Masters Collected by the Late Clement A. Griscom, Esq., Of Philadelphia: Unrestricted Public Sale by Order of Mrs. Griscom; In the Grand Ballroom of the Plaza on the Dates Herein Stated A characteristic portrait of a large, brown and white, Shaggy-haired sheep dog, painted close at hand out on the fields, with a background of landscape and heavily clouded, leaden sky. The dog is standing athwart the View, facing the left, his head up and tongue lolling lightly. The grayish white and yellowish-brown coat is strongly marked, and the long, bushy tail hangs in a deep loop-curve. The sunshine throws a bit of a shadow on the light green short grass at his feet, and a few detached trees appear in the distance before more distant low hills.
