Lot description
Mervyn Napier WALLER (1894–1972) A portrait study of an Airedale terrier in an interior Oil on paper, laid down on card Unsigned 28.5 x 28.5cm PROVENANCE: Private collection, Melbourne, from which acquired by Terence Lane in August, 2017 EXHIBITIONS: Castlemaine Art Gallery and Historical Museum, The Art of the Dog, 31 March–27 May, 2007, cat. no. 4 OTHER NOTES: Following their return from England in 1930, Napier and Christian Waller kept three Airedales, immortalised in his large portrait, Christian Waller with Baldur, Undine, and Siren at Fairy Hills, submitted for the 1931 Archibald Prize and now in the National Gallery of Australia (acc. no. 84.845). As these three were the only Airedales the Wallers had, it seems likely the present lot is a study of Baldur, Undine, or Siren.
