About the Item

Attributed to James Barenger (British, 1780–1831) Huntsman with Hound in a Parkland Landscape Oil on canvas, English, circa 1830 Presented in an antique gilt frame The piece is not signed. This finely composed sporting portrait, attributed to James Barenger, depicts a huntsman standing proudly in his scarlet coat, accompanied by his faithful hound against an expansive English parkland. Painted circa 1830, the work exemplifies the dignified yet understated character of early 19th-century sporting art, where the relationship between master, dog, and landscape is rendered with quiet authority. Barenger, celebrated for his hunting, racing, and animal portraiture, was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy between 1807 and 1831. His paintings are noted for their careful observation, crisp modelling, and the sense of rural nobility that defined the sporting culture of the Regency and George IV eras. Here, the artist’s hand is evident in the clean profile of the hound, the accurate handling of equestrian costume, and the delicate tonality of the wooded backdrop. The huntsman stands with whip in hand, his expression firm but approachable, while the small hound at his side looks upward with lively intelligence — a hallmark of Barenger’s ability to capture both temperament and form. The distant mansion, framed by soft cloud and rolling trees, situates the subject within the estate he served, adding a gentle narrative element and anchoring the work firmly within its historical context. The painting is presented in a richly carved antique gilt frame of the period, its deep relief and decorative scrollwork complementing the refinement of the composition. Together, they form a distinguished example of early 19th-century English sporting portraiture, appealing to collectors with an interest in Regency country life, hunting tradition, and the quieter elegance of pre-Victorian art.
