About the piece

Painted in 1806 by Benjamin Marshall, this authoritative work captures the dignity and detail of the English sporting tradition. The painting masterfully balances the human figure of J.G. Shaddick with the refined forms of his chestnut horse and alert hunting dogs, all rendered with the textural precision characteristic of Marshall's celebrated style.
