Doris Meets Roger, Father of Many - a sold out limited edition from gallery favourite, artist Sam Toft.
Doris the Jack Russell meets Roger... Sam writes 'Roger was Doris dog's fiancée for a while before he disgraced himself. An uncommonly handsome smooth-haired Dachshund, his charm, confidence and polished manners made him easy to fall in love with. To call him 'one for the ladies' would be an understatement. Not that he was a rascal as such; it was just his job. For Roger was a stud dog. And there was a dog who knew his business....'
Sam’s characters, ‘The Mustards’ have a legion of loyal fans. She has described herself as their Official Picture Maker and Story Teller for the past 20 years. They are her imaginary friends, helping her make sense of a world that sometimes seems stranger than fiction; never more so than current times.
Ernest and his dear lady wife Violet live in a not-so damp basement flat on the Brighton Hove border, with Doris, their grumpy and rather portly Jack Russell Terrier, and an ever increasing menagerie of eccentric pets. They inhabit a seaside world of faded ice cream colours where the breeze is always blowing and life is utterly delicious.
We are thrilled to offer for sale a beautiful collection of long sold out Sam Toft limited editions.
The current owner is reluctantly selling, wanting to re-home the pictures somewhere they will be appreciated and loved. Where better to bring them than The Braithwaite Gallery in York, northern home of all things Tofty for more than two decades, and Sam’s biggest fans!
Doris Meets Roger, Father of Many: image size approximately 700x245 mm with outer mount dimensions of approximately x mm.
The print appears to be good condition. We have remounted in an acid free off white mount to replace the original cream core mount.
This is Edition 20 of 250, from a collection of Sam's work published by The Art Group. Pease note - unlike Sam's Collier Dobson published works, The Art Group did not produce Certificates of Authenticity for their limited editions.
As with all secondary market work, the print is not new, and are therefore ‘sold as seen.’ We have endeavoured to describe to condition as accurately as possible.
