Described as rare for two reasons. First, despite being considered an excellent 19th century artist, William Bartoll, with originals in many prominent collections, appears to have very few reproductions of his work. Second, this particular painting, “Boy With Dog” has rarely been reproduced/reprinted, most likely because the Henry Ford Museum, owner of the original, has not allowed it. This is a printed reproduction of unknown age. Both the painting and its frame (a tasteful dark green) are in very good condition. Handwritten on the back: Artist Unknown: Portrait of Boy With Dog. From the Henry Ford Collection, Dearborn, Michigan Dimensions – Frame (27H x 21W); Painting (23H x 17W) But the artist is known.
