Description
Landseer was a frequent visitor to Abbotsford from 1824 onwards. 'He has painted every dog in the house' said Scott, 'and ended up with the owner'. The oil sketch is now usually ascribed to about 1824, Scott then aged 53. But the famous lint-white hair is no help and the date could be anywhere up to 1832 when Landseer made a number of pencil and ink sketches. Graves dates it to 1832, Kitton posthumously to 1834 when Landseer visited Abbotsford again to paint 'Scott in Rhymer's Glen' for Mr Wells of Redleaf, now in private collection, New York.
