About the piece
Painted in 1839 by the celebrated equestrian artist John Frederick Herring, Sr., this dynamic scene captures the height of a hunt. A gentleman in traditional hunting attire encourages his hounds as they race across the English countryside. The work is a masterclass in animal anatomy and movement, characteristic of the Golden Age of British sporting painting.
