Eugène Petit
A pointer and English setter on the scent

1870

About the Item

Eugène Petit (1839-1886) Setters on point oil on canvas 15 x 18 ¼ in. (38.1 x 46.4 cm.) This atmospheric oil painting by Eugène Petit (1839–1886) captures a pair of gundogs—likely a pointer and an English setter—on alert in a windswept upland landscape. Petit, best known for his depictions of animals and sporting scenes, imbues this work with a strong sense of movement and anticipation, as the dogs scent game amid autumnal undergrowth. The brooding sky and rolling hills suggest a remote, rugged setting, and highlight the artist's skill in combining naturalistic detail with dramatic tonal contrasts. Signed lower right, the composition reflects Petit's refined draughtsmanship and his enduring appeal to collectors of canine and hunting art.
