About the piece

Painted in 1825 by Benjamin Marshall, this oil on canvas is a premier example of English sporting art. The composition features a central sportsman in refined hunting attire, flanked by two meticulously detailed pointer dogs, with a saddled horse silhouetted against a soft, atmospheric sky.
