English 19th century men bird shooting in a landscape, with dogs and horse
Located in Woodbury, CT
John Nost Sartorius (British, 1759–1828) Men Out Bird Shooting in a Woodland Landscape, circa 1820 Oil on wooden panel, in a fine antique gilt frame Unsigned A finely observed early 19th-century sporting picture by John Nost Sartorius, one of the most respected figures in the English tradition of animal and sporting painting. The composition depicts a quiet moment in the field: a sportsman advancing through woodland with his gun, accompanied by attentive pointers, their forms crisply picked out against the darker recesses of the forest. Sartorius was celebrated for his ability to combine accurate animal portraiture with atmospheric landscape settings, and this work is characteristic of his mature period. The dogs are rendered with anatomical confidence and individual character, while the surrounding woodland is handled with a restrained, naturalistic palette that lends depth and calm to the scene. The narrative is understated and refined, intended as much for contemplation as for sporting reference. Painted on a wooden panel, as was common for Sartorius’s smaller and more intimate works, the picture retains a pleasing surface quality and detail. It is housed in an antique gilt frame of appropriate date, enhancing its presence and lending a strong period feel. Works by Sartorius were highly sought after by country house patrons in the early 19th century and were often commissioned to record favourite dogs or shooting grounds. Today, paintings of this type remain especially appealing to collectors of British sporting art and sit equally well in traditional country house interiors or more formal libraries and studies. A confident and decorative example of English sporting painting...

Magnificent C19th Oil Painting of Babylonian Nobleman with a Hunting Cheetah
By John Rogers Herbert
Located in London, GB
John Rogers Herbert TA, HRI (1810-1890) The Hunting Cheetah Signed, inscribed and dated ‘J.R. Herbert R.A./Paris 1853’ (lower left) Oil on canvas 37 ¼ x 28 inches, 47 1/4 x 38 inches inc. frame In the original frame Provenance Thomas Agndew & Sons Sir Edward Bates, Gyrn Castle, North Wales This striking portrait shows a Babylonian nobleman returning from a hunting expedition with his cheetah and its catch - a gazelle - which, from its distinctly curved horns and dark body stripe, can be identified as a Thomson’s Gazelle. The painting is important in a historical context as it dates from the time when archaeological findings, and their dissemination around the Western world, ensured that public fascination with Mesopotamia reached its height. Herbert was a painter of portraits, historical genre and landscapes. His early work showed a preponderance of subjects derived from Italian history, following his visit to that country in 1836. These early compositions tend to be characterised by high drama and contraposto figurative groups, such as Pirates of Istria carrying off the Brides of Venice (1839). However during the 1830s he made contact with the Nazarenes, a German group of painters who cultivated a sharp-edged, flat style. Herbert’s aesthetic became more Nazarence in tendency (with its juxtaposition of decorative surfaces, The Hunting Cheetah, dated 1853, demonstrates the longevity of their influence). 1840 proved a seminal year for Herbert personally as he converted to Catholicism, much as a result of his friendship with the architect and man of letters Augustus Welby Pugin (1810-1852). It was Pugin who created the magnificent frame in which The Hunting Cheetah is presented. In the ensuring decades Herbert concentrated on religious subjects and submitted Pope Gregory Teaching the Boys to Sing (1846) as his Royal Academy diploma work. The same year he was one of the selection of artists chosen to decorate the interior of the New Palace of Westminster, and his contributions included nine Old Testament scenes...
