About the Item

After Carle Van Loo, La halte de chasse (1737) (in english « The hunting halt »). Large oil on canvas with a black lacquered frame with gilt molded highlights representing a lunch in the forest during a hunting halt. The forest is painted in style of 17th century landscapes. We can see different characters : in the middle, slightly on the left, the main couple is richly dressed and is shaving a lunch while bantering. Behind them, some victuals on spread on a wide white tablecloth; all around, men dressed in a more practical way being served by servants, one of them is colored and wearing a turban, sign of the wealthiness of the characters represented. On the right, on the foreground, a sat man staring dreamily the pack mule being filled and prepare to go back, before him, dogs are waiting patiently. On the background, horses are resting attached to a tree while some riders are still in action in the deep background. Reproduction of the 19th century, French school. This painting is a great example of Fêtes Galantes such as paintings made by Watteau of Boucher? It's also a tribute to Louis XV's passion for hunting. The little History likes to relate that the main couple might be King Louis XV … and one of his mistress!

Large 18th Century French Oil on Canvas Painting Depicting a Hunt Scene
Located in Dallas, TX
This large (110 inches high) oil on canvas painting depicts a successful hunter, with his felled game displayed near his retriever dogs. Our hunter is leaning against a stone pedestal, clad in blue coat and pants with his rifle beneath his right hand. The man is wearing a gold cap with red fabric attached to it and has a sword on his left hip. Three retriever dogs stand to the hunter’s left, while a fourth sits in front of him (the man appears to be motioning to this dog with his left hand). An orange terra cotta vase adorned with spiral fluting sits on top of a molded plinth at the top of the pedestal. Ivy has begun to wrap around the vase, which also is festooned with green drapery. On a ledge at the base of the pedestal is the felled game: a rabbit and three birds. The hunting display is surrounded by numerous trees and shrubbery. Mountains and a lake can be seen in the background, beneath a blue sky with pink and orange clouds and birds flying. Based on the size and vertical orientation, the scene was most likely part of a French boiserie room...
