Could anyone please advise me if they know the name and artist of an old painting that hung in my grandmother's house (long gone) of a large black lab (appeared to be a lab) with head hung down low. The lab was sitting by an empty cradle, obviously greiving over the loss of a baby. I would appreciate any information you can give me. Thank you.

Landseer was the prototypical painter of this sort of thing (sentimental animal pictures), but I believe this particular painting is by Gustave Mosler.

That's it, that's it. I haven't seen this picture in years and years. Thank you so much - now I've got to find out how I can get a copy. Sure do appreciate this. Karen in Texas
