John Emms (British, 1843-1912) Eight Wire Fox Terriers in a kennel, 1886 Oil on canvas 36 x 60 inches (91.4 x 152.4 cm) Signed and dated lower left: JNO Emms/86 PROVENANCE: Private collection, Dallas, Texas, by 1999; Thence by descent to the present owner. John Emms was born to be a sporting painter, possessing a singular gift for capturing the personalities and emotions of the animal kingdom. He originally trained in the technical, highly finished manner of the Royal Academy, earning a place as an assistant to Frederic, Lord Leighton (see lot 69080). During this apprenticeship, he accompanied Leighton to Lyndhurst in Hampshire, a fateful trip to a region that captured Emms' heart so much so that he settled there permanently in 1881. Inspired by the area's natural beauty and the sport that he was able to engage in, Emms, a skilled horse- and huntsman himself, quickly shifted focus to portraits of horse and hound. He abandoned the polish of the Academy in favor of a more painterly, expressive style that allowed him to quickly render his new, often wiggly, subjects. He showed a preference for kennel settings in his dog paintings, creating a sort of stage allowing him to highlight the social relationships within the pack. The eight terriers in this large-scale work are a family, each one with an individual personality, and there is clearly a conversation going on between them. Their bright, sharp eyes and pricked ears reveal alertness and intelligence, and with his warm color palette and confident brushwork, Emms captures each dog's unique coloring, cleverly adding yellow to his white pigments so that none of the dogs, working animals all, are completely clean. The work surprises with its intimacy and exposes Emms' singular attention to detail; he was said to have taken dogs individually to his studio, studying their form and demeanor at their most relaxed.
