Lot Essay
Having begun his career apprenticed to the Scottish portraitist Allan Ramsay (1713-1784), Reinagle remained in the studio until Ramsay's death, where he produced copies of royal portraits. He exhibited eleven portraits of his own at the Royal Academy between 1773 and 1787. His later work is mainly of sporting subjects, and his 1801 diploma picture was A vulture disputing with a hyena.
Both of these drawings were reproduced as part of his well-regarded illustrations for William Taplin's The Sportsman's Cabinet, or a Correct delineaton of the various dogs used in the field.
The greyhound appears to be a study for the picture of Colonel Thornton's famous greyhound, Major, which was sold at Sotheby's, 10 November 1993, lot 111.
