About the Item
Amazing print on paper by William J. Shayer, engraved by J. Harris, created in 1864, belonging to the realist movement, entitled “Dead Beat”.
The work depicts a typical Victorian English hunting scene with dogs, with some riders advancing in the background across the field, dressed in the red jackets customary for this type of hunting.
The print shows an open landscape, the movement of the animals, and the balanced and academic composition that characterizes Shayer's work. Harris's translation to paper maintains the structure and essence of the scene.
It features a dark mahogany frame with mother-of-pearl inlays. This work is a canonical example of English realism applied to hunting scenes, highly valued at the time both for their sporting content and their documentary value on everyday life.
