Beautiful Rick!
I've seen that one on a period calendar at auction not so long ago.
I love the theme and that setter is perfect! Reminds me of Cam and me a couple of years ago.
I wish I could have commisioned Osthaus to paint Grace for me.
He must surely have been a bird hunter - he really 'nails it' in every one of his paintings.
