This collection comprises three realist animalier oil paintings on canvas by the artist D. Young. The first work is a profile study of a bay horse with a white blaze, signed and dated D. Young 85 to the lower right. The second painting depicts a Border Terrier standing in a grassy field with one forepaw raised, signed and dated D. Young 89 to the lower left. The third painting, titled Sweet Dreams in red script to the upper left, features a West Highland White Terrier resting on a plush bed before a window with a full moon, signed D. Young to the lower right. Each work is executed with descriptive brushwork to capture the texture of the animal coat against softly blended, atmospheric backgrounds. The horse and Border Terrier studies are presented in matching dark wood frames with gilded inner slips, while the West Highland White Terrier is housed in a broad, stepped gilt frame.
Condition report:
All three canvases appear to be in good, stable condition. There is no significant craquelure or paint loss visible. The surfaces would benefit from light cleaning to remove minor surface dust. The frames show light wear and minor scuffing to the edges consistent with age.
