Two dogs sink their teeth into a wild boar attempting to flee in a grassy landscape. (John) Frederick Tayler (1802– 89) was a 19th-century English landscape watercolour painter, president of the Royal Watercolour Society and member of the Etching Club. Tayler executed some two dozen ‘lithotints,’ which were published by T. McLean in 1844, under the title of ‘Frederick Tayler's Portfolio.’ A member of the ‘Etching Club,’ he etched a number of small plates for the various publications of that body (Goldsmith's 'The Deserted Village,’ ‘Songs of Shakespeare,’ ‘Etched Thoughts,’ &c.), and also made drawings on wood for several popular classics, such as Thomson's ‘Seasons,’ ‘Sir Roger de Coverley,’ and Goldsmith's ‘Works.’
