British, 1840–1920
Briton Rivière (1840–1920) was a British painter of Huguenot descent, born and died in London. He is best known for his paintings of animals, especially dogs, often in scenes of loyalty and grief such as Requiescat (1888), in which a hound keeps watch beside the body of its dead master, a knight in armour; the painting is in the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney.
