About the piece

Painted around 1835 by Francis Calcraft Turner, this lively scene captures the 'breaking cover' moment of a traditional fox hunt. The composition balances the dynamic motion of a white horse mid-leap with the focused gallop of a dark horse in the foreground, all rendered in the classic palette and refined brushwork of the English sporting tradition.
