A charming and highly decorative 19th-century English oil on canvas depicting a traditional fox hunting scene, painted in the manner of Francis Calcraft Turner.
The composition centres on the Master of Foxhounds, shown mounted on a grey horse and raising his hat, surrounded by hounds in full cry as the hunt moves through an autumnal landscape. Additional riders and figures appear in the distance, creating a lively narrative and strong sense of movement.
Executed with a slightly naive and expressive hand, the painting has great character and warmth, capturing the spirit of English country sport. The softer detailing and folk-like quality add to its appeal, making it particularly well suited to traditional, equestrian, or country house interiors.
Oil on canvas, relined, presented in a later gilt frame. Ready to hang.
