He was proficient both as a painter and a draughtsman and was elected a Royal Academician in 1831. During a long and distinguished career he exhibited 179 works at the Royal Academy and 94 at the British Institute.  He enjoyed the patronage of the Royal family and is especially well known for the paintings he did for them of the life and landscape of the Scottish Highlands.\r\n\r\nAlthough he painted portraits, Landseer's work predominantly deals with animals and human genre.  This particular painting was exhibited at the British Institute in 1840.  In his <i>Catalogue of the Works of the Late Edwin Landseer</i>, published in 1876, A. Graves states that the roebuck was shot by Lord Cosmo Russell, who was also the owner of the two upper dogs: Melody and Toddy.  The painting is a good example of Landseer's ability to portray a patron's favourite dogs in an imaginative composition.","physicalDescription":"The body of a young roebuck lies draped over some rocks.  Two dogs, one to the left of the ders head, the other to the right take hold of the animals neck in their mouths.  The heads of two further dogs occur at the lower edge of the cnavas, one on the left looking out at the viewer and one on the right looking up at the dead roebuck.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Landseer, Edwin Henry (Sir, RA)","id":"A8593"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"oil paint","id":"AAT15050"},{"text":"panel","id":"AAT14657"}],"techniques":[{"text":"oil painting","id":"AAT178684"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Oil on panel","categories":[{"text":"Paintings","id":"THES48917"},{"text":"Anthropomorphism","id":"THES252998"},{"text":"Images Online","id":"THES48937"},{"text":"Animals and Wildlife","id":"THES250852"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2006BH7487","2019LK4288"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"A","id":"THES304498"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"oil paintings","id":"AAT33799"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"painted","id":"AAT54216"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1840","earliest":"1835-01-01","latest":"1840-12-31"},"association":{"text":"painted","id":"x30138"},"note":"Exhibited at the BI in 1840"}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by John Sheepshanks, 1857","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"53.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"estimate","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"43.2","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"estimate","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"715","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"framed","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"615","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"framed","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"70","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"framed","note":""},{"dimension":"","value":"","unit":"","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":"Measurement taken at time of assessment prior to BH decant - Frame Dimensions (mm): H-715 W-616 D-73;\nPainting Dimensions (mm): not measured"}],"dimensionsNote":"Dimensions taken from <i>Catalogue of British Oil Paintings 1820-1860</i>, Ronald Parkinson, Victoria and Albert Museum, London: HMSO, 1990.
