Set Four Antique English Oil Paintings Equestrian Horses Hunting Sanderson-Wells
British, c. 1900
Canvas: Height 41cm, width 62cm
Frame: Height 51cm, width 71cm, depth 4cm
This captivating suite of four oil paintings was created by British artist John Sanderson-Wells, a painter celebrated for his vivid portrayals of equestrian life, rural sport, and characterful portraiture. His works are in the collections of several museums including the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The paintings follow the same central figure throughout - a well-dressed gentleman clad in classic riding attire, his bright red coat immediately drawing the eye. He is seen mounted on horseback, confidently leading a group of fellow riders across open countryside. In three of the compositions, a spirited pack of beagles charges ahead of the hunters. These hounds, originally bred for pursuing hares and rabbits, suggest the nature of the day's hunt.
Set amid the rolling fields and wooded landscapes of the English countryside, the paintings reflect the scenic beauty of rural Britain. Sanderson-Wells employs an earthy, subdued palette that brings authenticity and atmosphere to each scene, while the vibrant red of the rider’s coat adds a striking contrast and focal point.
Each work is housed in a finely carved giltwood frame, complete with a title plaque naming both the scene and the artist. The titles are: ‘On the Scent’, ‘Drawing the Covert’, ‘Gone to Earth’, and ‘Full Cry’. One of the four works is signed in the lower left, and the other two in the lower right with the artist’s name ‘J. S. Sanderson-Wells’.
Rich in detail and steeped in tradition, this finely executed set is a superb acquisition for those with a passion for horses, country pursuits, or classic British sporting art.

View AllGroup portrait painting after the hunt, oil on canvas
Located in London, GB
This charming painting depicts a group of gentlemen gathered around a kitchen table and admiring an English Setter. The snowy rooftops, just visible from the kitchen window, combined with the lit fire and holly decorating the picture frames in the room, implies that this is a Christmas scene. It also appears that the gentlemen have just returned from a fox hunt, and are now warming themselves, drinking port and smoking long pipes by the fire.
Five men — three gathered behind the table and two standing in front — are identically dressed in long black riding boots...
