John Emms (artist)

[1] He became an avid hunter and became famous for his paintings of horses, and of dogs, particularly foxhounds and terriers.

His painting of "Callum" a Dandie Dinmont Terrier hangs in the National Gallery of Scotland.

In 1919, the owner of the dog, James Cowan Smith, donated £55,000 (£3,193,000 in 2023) to the National Gallery of Scotland with a requirement that obliged them to display the painting on its walls in perpetuity.

According to the American Kennel Club, his painting The New Forest Foxhounds is valued at an estimated $800,000–$1.2 million.
