"Forbe's Lorne (left/right) and Kate (top/bottom)"
--
Caption reads: "From studies in oils, painted 1901, by Miss Maud Earl ---
These are the portrait-heads of a brace of first-rate black pointers belonging to Mr. D.M. Forbes; and, alas ! pointers of this beautiful type are now very rare. What I may term the eastern and western heads are likenesses of a dog called "Lorne", and, I think, his profile at all events approxmiates to my idea of perfection. The northern and southern heads represent his daughter, "Kate" -- maybe rather too long in the ear and too fine in the skull, but very lovely."
