Great Artwork. A picture that also tells a story.
Hoof, I think the 'Bagged in France' one has a bit of artistic license; probably 'bought off a market stall' in France as the Picklehaub was long obsolete when the U.S. came into the First World War. Could be a Canadian maybe. Lagopus.....

Zoom in on the butt plate, don't know these well enough myself, but it doesn't appear to be Winchester butt.

Note, though, the window banner in "Bagged in France" bears a gold star.

I say a Savage Model 21 or 28 as I see the hint of a tang safety.

Note that the gentlemen is wearing a tie. Very few hunters that stylish these days!

Darryl,
I think the "Brit" meaning Brittany is in fact an English Springer. Brittany's are virtually unknown here. Glad you liked it.
Eug
Thank you, very kind. Mine's a pint

My apologies to either dog if he feels insulted. I love the motion in the picture. Daryl

I love this painting and the mood it suggests. The poor dog is sorta like, "Uh, WTF, that was a bird.........you are supposed to shoot at those so I can retrieve it...." but the guy is so content with being in the woods, gun in hand, dog at his feet, that he's fine just lighting up a smoke and letting one go....confident there will be more.
