About John Sargent Noble:

More than just a painter of a large number of sporting scenes, John Sargent Noble made his reputation as an animal painter with special emphasis as a storyteller of the actions of dogs as characters of feeling and intelligence. Only a few of his pictures included horses. 

He studied at the Royal Academy Schools where he was a pupil of Sir Edward Landseer whose choice of subject matter was to prove a major influence on Noble’s career. A painter in both oil and watercolour, he was elected a Member of the Society of British Artists where he exhibited 96 works, and between 1871 and 1896 he showed a further 46 pictures at the Royal Academy.
