    About the Artist:
    Robert G. Sternloff (1885 - 1965) was born in Sweden and has become a prominent American illustrator doing advertising art for many companies, including Fuller Brush. He also did cover art for the Field and Stream magazine. He was best known for his paintings of dogs, particularly hounds. One of his Beagle paintings is in the 200 painting collection of various breeds at the American Kennel Club. He did paint the Hounds of the DuPont's sometime in the 30's. The artist died in 1965 in Mill Valley, California.
