William Hamilton Henry Trood, British 1848-1899- The Truant; oil on canvas laid down on board, signed with initials 'WHT' (lower left), 13.5 x 17 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Trood specialised in painting dogs, of which he said: 'I have painted them since I was four years old, but not until I was twenty could I paint one properly.' For some time he kept a menagerie in the back garden of his Chelsea studio until the neighbours complained of noise. Afterwards he kept a fox, badger and otter at home with his dogs. Trood exhibited regularly in England, principally at London's Royal Academy between 1879 and 1898, and also at Suffolk Street, the New Watercolour Society, Grosvenor Gallery and elsewhere.
