After completing his studies in Dusseldorf, German born Edmund Osthaus came to the United States in 1883, settled near his parents, who had moved to Ohio, and became the chief instructor of the Toledo Academy of Fine of Art. After the school closed, Osthaus, a keen hunter and angler, established himself as the foremost American painter of sporting dogs. Osthaus traveled the country, following dog shows and exhibitions and visiting shooting and fishing lodges, executing commissions all along the way. Fall Hunting is of particular interest because of the colors, the quality of the dogs, and the presence of the hunter, a comparative rarity among the artist’s works.
