About the piece

Painted in 1839 by Henry Calvert, this oil study depicts Thomas Cholmondeley, first Lord Delamere, mounted on his hunter. The work serves as a preparatory piece for 'The Cheshire Hunt at Tatton Park,' showcasing Calvert's mastery of equestrian form and the bold use of color that defines traditional British sporting art.
