About the piece

Painted around 1810 by Philip Reinagle, this oil on canvas captures the tension of the hunt with unusual intimacy. The composition focuses on the hare's large, alert ears and watchful eye, while a distant figure of a hunter and his dog anchor the scene in the traditional English sporting tradition.
