Acquatinta:Al ritorno dalla caccia, splendido soggetto di tue Greyhound ritratti in una "pen" inglese primi 800 mentre si abbeverano stanchi dopo una caccia alla lepre, anch'essa ritratta ahimè appesa al muro.

Lo stato dell'oggetto è perfetto e la cornice è antica, probabilmente coeva.

(b 1785; d 1838). English engraver. He was signing plates by 1804 and soon afterwards was employed by Rudolph Ackermann, engraving 18 plates for his Microcosm of London (1808; see Adams, no. 99) and 15 for his Westminster Abbey (1812; see Adams, no. 108). For the print publisher James Jenkins (fl 1807-18) he engraved most of the plates in Martial Achievements (1814; see Abbey, 1953, no. 365) and Naval Achievements (1816; see Abbey, 1953, no. 337). He was the chief engraver employed by William Henry Pyne on his History of the Royal Residences (1819; see Abbey, 1952, no. 396). Unlike some aquatint engravers who worked exclusively for the book trade, Sutherland engraved many topographical and sporting plates that were issued singly.
