SEVEN HOURS IN THE LIFE OF A NURSERY POODLE by JOHN PARRY 1865

£465.00

SKU: 1468

This Framed Pastel Drawing, measuring nearly 4 feet in length, is entitled ‘Seven Hours in the Life of a Nursery Poodle’ and is signed and dated 1865.

It shows 7 images of a Toy Poodle and its demise over a period of 7 hours:

12 o’clock (Just arrived) Perfect Doggie, 1 o’clock Tail-less, 2 o’clock Eye-less, 3 o’clock Nose-less, Leg-less, 4 o’clock Head-less, 5 o’clock Body-less, 6 o’clock Wind-less.

The drawing is in its original frame which, like the poodle, is well-worn.  There is a small crack to the glass in the bottom left corner.

A wonderful and unusual example of a Victorian’s humorous view of Christmas and the presents given.

Height:  9.5 inches (24 cm)

Length:  45 inches (114.5 cm)
