About the piece
Painted in 1839 by the renowned animalier John Frederick Herring Sr., this oil painting captures the energy of the English countryside. The central focus is a rider in traditional hunting pinks navigating a ditch on a powerful bay horse, surrounded by a pack of hounds in mid-chase against a soft, atmospheric sky.
