Which artist painted the 1898 famous work 'His Master's Voice'?

Francis James Barraud (16 June 1856 in Liverpool, England – 29 August 1924 in Kingston upon Thames) was an English painter – the son of portrait painter Henry Barraud. After one of his works popularized the then-new field of sound recording, he became best known as a commercial illustrator.

His most famous work, His Master's Voice, is one of the best-known commercial logos in the world, having inspired a music industry trademark depicting a dog, possibly a type of terrier (named Nipper) and gramophone, which has been used as a trademark by the corporations RCA Victor, EMI, and JVC.

The 1898 painting His Master's Voice in its original form was completed in 1899 and originally showed the dog (who had in fact died four years previously) listening to a cylinder phonograph. Barraud later replaced the phonograph with a disc machine at the suggestion of William Barry Owen of The Gramophone Company, which then bought the picture by agreement. It was used for advertising by the Gramophone Company and by its US affiliate the Victor Talking Machine Company and soon became one of the world's most recognizable trademarks.
