Doubtful Crumbs (1858-1859) by Edwin Landseer
The work was engraved by the artist's brother Thomas - Edwin relied on private buyers and income from prints of his works.[2] The painting was first exhibited in 1859 at the Royal Academy, of which Landseer had been a Fellow since 1831, where it was bought by the businessman and patron Elhanan Bicknell (1788–1861).[3] It was then bought as Lot 105 at a posthumous auction of Bicknell's collection on 25 April 1863 by Richard Seymour-Conway, 4th Marquess of Hertford[4][5] It was later offered for sale for £3138 but declined and so remained in what became the Wallace Collection.[6][7]
