About the piece
Painted around 1735 by John Wootton, this work is a quintessential example of the English sporting tradition. It depicts a lively hunt in progress, with detailed figures on horseback and a sprawling pack of hounds moving across a vast valley. The composition emphasizes the scale of the British countryside, utilizing a low horizon and a dramatic, cloud-swept sky to create a sense of depth and grandeur.
