About
Decorate a study or office with this elegant antique painting. Hand painted in France circa 1780, and set in the original carved gilt wood frame (with blackened trim for later addition), the large painting on canvas vividly portrays an exhilarating hunting scene. The artwork captures a nobleman, dressed in a striking red coat and a tricorne hat, astride a spirited white horse as he leads a vigorous pursuit through a dense forest. His left hand raises a hunting horn, signifying the chase’s urgency. The composition is energized by two swift hound dogs closing in on a fleeing stag, highlighting the thrill of the hunt. The rich, earthy tones of the landscape create a backdrop that emphasizes the figures’ dynamism. This piece reflects the era’s aristocratic tradition of hunting, symbolizing power and control over nature. The Louis XV painting is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns rich and vivid colors. A wonderful addition to a hunting lodge! 55.75″W x 34.25″H
