I thot of a Remington 17 [first glance impression] or a 31. Have not bothered trying to enlarge it .. no point. It certainly captures the moment before going afield and good bird dogs, irrespective of breed or breeding, KNOW what's going on and about to happen.

The particular art form & even the dress depicted may have gone out of style, but the happenings remain the same, thankfully.

In many ways the quality of a man's life may be measured by the number of good dogs he is allowed to associate with.
