This painting epitomizes John Trickett's mastery in depicting Black Labradors. Imagine the scene when your grandchildren present this piece on The Antiques Roadshow to the descendant of Rupert Maas—it will be one of those TV moments!

It was also one of his earliest limited edition prints, which sold out three decades ago.
