Description from the seller
EXCEPTIONALLY WITHOUT RESERVE!
Magnificent painting depicting a refined equestrian scene set in the countryside, with a rider in traditional English hunting attire accompanied by two hounds.
The work stands out for the elegance of the composition and for the typically British atmosphere, recalling the artistic tradition dedicated to hunting on horseback and the aristocratic country life. The rider, dressed in the characteristic red coat, is depicted mounted on an elegant bay horse, while the dogs enliven the scene, giving it movement and naturalness.
Particularly pleasing is the rendering of the landscape, characterized by wide meadows, autumnal vegetation and a bright sky crossed by soft clouds. The warm and harmonious palette, together with the care given to the details of the horse, the clothing, and the animals, gives the work notable decorative charm.
The painting is oil on canvas and is presented within an important black frame with decorative work, enriched by elegant inner gold profiles that further enhance the composition.
The photographs were also taken under direct light to best showcase colors, details, and the painted surface.
The artwork shows normal signs of wear and defects compatible with its age and history.
The frame is considered a courtesy and therefore will not be counted in the lot in case of any damage during transport.
For every work we issue a certificate of guarantee.
Fast, protected shipments carried out with professional and meticulous packaging.
Each artwork destined for countries outside the Schengen area will be shipped rolled in an appropriate tube, without stretcher and without frame.
