Henriëtte Ronner-Knip
After the Hunt

19th century

About the Item

'After the Hunt' is a 19th century painting by Henriette Ronner-Knip (1821-1909) Dutch/Belgian artist known for fine paintings of cats and dogs. This larger than usual scene expands her genre with landscape, red satchel and a figure with dogs in the background. The center of attention is the white Spaniel, set against a darker background of tree trunks and a black dog. In the distance, out of the woods in brighter light, are two other dogs and a man coming from the beach and dunes. In the foreground is the woven bag with a quail. Ronner-Knip is known for her romantic realism, mostly studies of kittens and dogs in interior scenes. This one is is in light and shadows, deep woodland and lighted beach, the central dog in brighter light and fine detail, and the spoils of the day with the red satchel that stands out from the natural grasses. The canvas is 24" by 32", and 28.5" by 36.5" including the frame. Verso shows Newman Gallery of Philadelphia label. This Ronner-Knip piece is done in oil paint on canvas, and is signed on the lower right side. This painting has been cleaned and yellowing varnish has been brightened with a sheen, by Saltire Gallerie. Previous restoration has included lining, a newer frame and retouching especially on the face of the black dog, but also touches elsewhere. The painting has contrasting dark trees and light beach and sky, with the brighter white dog taking center stage, and the black dog beside it. The frame is stained wood, with a egg and dart pattern in bronzed stain closest to the canvas. The frame rather than gilt is in keeping with the more rustic hunt scene. 'After the Hunt'is now ready to hang!
