If anyone knows any of the details about this painting, I’d love know about them.
These Clumbers appear to have sabling or perhaps tricolor in their spotting.

The dogs look sabled because that is a pencil drawing which has had the color added to it. The pencil shading creates the lights and darks.
The print-technic (and the style) of this sweet image suggest it is made around 1900-1910
What you show is a detail from a larger oil painting done in 1888 by Charles Burton Barber, titled The New Keeper. I have obtained reproduction rights to this work from the owners, and it will be the subject of a high quality limited edition print being published by my imprint, Venaticus Collection. Prints will be available later this year, with international payment arrangements by PayPal. I will be happy to receive, acknowledge and log inquiries meantime by email at jd@chelgate.com.

PS. Message for retrieverman – please reply by email to my comment about that 1902 photograph.
This definitely makes great sense to anyone.
