About the Item
A grand and atmospheric 19th-century English School oil on canvas depicting a traditional fox hunt gathering — known as “The Meet.” The richly detailed composition captures a moment of pause before the chase: a pack of hounds rests in the foreground while huntsmen in scarlet coats confer under tall trees, with riders and horses assembling in the distance.
Executed with confident brushwork and a subtle, naturalistic palette, the painting evokes the sporting traditions and social pageantry of the late Victorian and Edwardian countryside. The artist’s attention to light filtering through the trees and the varied poses of the hounds lend the scene depth and movement.
Presented in a handsome period-style dark mahogany and gilt frame, this impressive work measures 51.5” W x 46.5” H x 1.75” D (framed); sight size 40.5” W x 35.5” H.
Unsigned, as was common for many large-scale decorative commissions of the period, but painted with skill consistent with the English sporting school of the late 19th century — stylistically akin to works by John Emms, Heywood Hardy, and the Alken family.
A striking statement piece for a library, country house, or any interior seeking timeless British sporting elegance.
