- Lot Description
Ernest Huntley Hart (1910-1985)
Setters on Point
signed "Ernest H. Hart" lower right
watercolor on board, 22 by 28 in.
Ernest Huntley Hart studied at the Art Students League in New York for four years before embarking on a career as a cartoonist and illustrator. He painted murals for the WPA in Connecticut in the 1930s, and worked for the pet guide publishing company TFH for many years. In 1968 he designed, wrote, illustrated, and published the "Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds," "a whopping 780 pages of breed histories, official standards, and lengthy chapters on canine evolution, breeding and genetics, care and training, and a lifetime of personal recollections." He was a dog show judge, and Hart's breed of choice was the German shepherd.
Nature House, Inc. reproduced this painting as a print in its dog breed series.
