By the time of his election to the Royal Academy in 1831 Landseer had 'established an enviable reputation as the foremost animal painter of the day', with a particular following amongst the English landed gentry, numbering the dukes of Atholl, Beaufort, Bedford, Devonshire, Gordon, Northumberland, and Wellington among his patrons (ODNB).
