Vintage Blue Toile Labrador Retriever Canvas

A Labrador retriever in the tradition of antique toile textiles — crisp blue-and-white detail, a classic profile, and the confident, athletic stance of a born sporting dog. The generous white ground keeps the composition clean and balanced. The Labrador retriever originated not in Labrador, as the name suggests, but in Newfoundland, where it was known as the St. John's water dog. English sportsmen brought the breed to Britain in the early nineteenth century, where it was refined into the versatile retriever that has remained the most popular dog breed in the United States for over three decades.
