VICTORIAN PORTRAIT !! Vintage Framed Oil On Board Reproduction of Constance and Her Borzoi

VICTORIAN PORTRAIT ART -- FRAMED VINTAGE OIL ON BOARD REPRODUCTION OF "CONSTANCE SHEPHERD AND HER BORZOI" -- TITLED -- "THE QUEEN"       THE ORIGINAL WAS PAINTED BY ROBERT SAUBER IN 1907

CONSTANCE SHEPHERD WAS ARTIST ROBERT SAUBERS NIECE AND THE BORZOI DOG IS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN NAMED "QUEEN"

ALTHOUGH I HAVE TITLED THIS OIL ON BOARD AS VINTAGE, RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE OIL REPRODUCTIONS OF "CONSTANCE AND HER BORZOI" WHICH WERE TITLED "THE QUEEN" WITH ROBERT SAUBER'S SIGNATURE WERE ACTUALLY EXECUTED IN THE 1920's.    THIS PARTICULAR REPRODUCTION DOES ON VERY CLOSE EXAMINATION APPEAR TO BE FROM THE 1920's.  BRUSH STROKES ARE VISIBLE WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS ONLY

ROBERT HERMAN SAUBER (1868 - 1936) WAS A BRITISH PAINTER AND ILLUSTRATOR.  HE WAS BORN IN LONDON TO MRS FRANCIS EMILY HANCOCK SAUBER AND HERMANN AUGUST SAUBER SALESMAN (GERMAN). ROBERT'S MOTHER WAS THE DAUGHTER OF PAINTER CHARLES HANCOCK (1795-1868).     ROBERT SAUBERS ORIGINAL PAINTING OF "CONSTANCE SHEPHERD AND HER BORZOI" WAS SOLD AT SOTHEBY'S IN 1994 FOR 40 000 GBP
