Sketches in the Hunting Field - The Finish
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting and evocative image from the Victorian era, capturing the essence of a traditional foxhunt in the heart of the English countryside. This exquisite print, created by the talented artist John Charlton in February 1880, invites us to step back in time and experience the thrill and camaraderie of this cherished sporting pastime. The scene unfolds in an idyllic rural setting, where riders dressed in their finest hunting attire gather around their horses, their faces etched with a mix of excitement, relief, and satisfaction. The hounds, having successfully trailed their quarry, return triumphantly, their tongues hanging out and tails wagging, while their handlers proudly hold the leads. The horses, too, display a sense of accomplishment, their coats glistening with sweat and the occasional mud splash. The women, gracefully seated sidesaddle, display a sense of elegance and poise, their skirts billowing in the wind as they chat animatedly with their male counterparts. The men, in turn, exchange stories and laughter, their hearts pounding with the adrenaline of the chase. The huntsman, standing proudly atop his horse, raises his cap in acknowledgement of a successful day in the field. This image not only showcases the beauty of the hunt but also the camaraderie and shared experience that binds the participants together. The peaceful countryside setting, with its rolling hills and verdant foliage, adds to the sense of tranquility and harmony, making "Sketches in the Hunting Field - The Finish" a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
