Description from the seller
EXCEPTIONALLY WITHOUT RESERVE!
Interesting painting depicting a lively scene of hunting on horseback set in a wooded landscape. Several riders, accompanied by numerous hunting dogs, advance through the vegetation while one of the horses clears an obstacle; on the right a stag also appears, an element that heightens the narrative and dynamic character of the composition.
The scene is built with a lively and descriptive brushstroke, with particular attention to the movement of the horses and dogs and to the rendering of the natural environment. The palette alternates greens, browns and autumnal tones, with pleasant chromatic contrasts in the figures of the riders.
Signature present at the bottom right.
The painting is presented within an elegant silvered frame, well proportioned and pleasantly matched to the work.
The photographs were also taken under spotlight to best show colors, details and the painterly surface.
The work shows normal signs and defects compatible with time and with its history. The frame is considered a courtesy and therefore will not be counted in the lot in the event of any damage during transport. For each work we issue a certificate of guarantee.
Fast shipping and professional and careful packaging. Each work destined for countries outside the Schengen area will be shipped rolled in a dedicated tube, without stretcher and without frame.
