About
Decorate an office or a study with this important pair of antique hunt paintings. Created in England circa 1950, and set in the original carved giltwood frame, both equestrian paintings on canvas depict a lively hunting scene and feature riders in traditional red hunting coats, mounted on horseback, accompanied by a pack of hounds. One artwork depicts two riders and their dogs traverse a dirt path, moving through a wooded area, with their hounds energetically following. The other composition shows a similar scene, but with more depth, as the riders are depicted further along in their hunt, framed by lush trees and greenery. Both subjects are set in expansive rural landscapes under vibrant, dynamic skies that range from sunlit clouds to darker, more dramatic tones. The compositions showcase the thrill of the hunt and the camaraderie between man, horse, and hound, reflecting a classic British sporting tradition; the use of light and shadow enhances the depth of the scenes, while the gold-colored frames add an additional layer of elegance, making these pieces a striking addition to a traditional or country-inspired interior. The large paintings are in excellent condition, commensurate with age and use, and adorn rich and vibrant colors. One artwork is signed A. Roland in the lower right corner for further authentication. 37.5″W x 48″H
