Reuben Ward Binks, British 1880-1950- Portrait of a terrier, traditionally identified as Caesar, who belonged to King Edward VII; watercolour on paper, signed 'R. Ward Binks' (lower left), 22.6 x 16.6 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Binks was recognised as a leading canine portraitist receiving commissions from four successive British monarchs. He was frequently invited to Sandringham during the reign of King George V (1865-1936) to sketch the Royal dogs during shooting parties, and also received commissions from the Maharaja of Patiala (1891-1938) and prominent American patrons.
