More about this artwork

"Partridge Shooting" (1796) by Samuel Howitt is a captivating depiction of a rural scene rich in the essence of 18th century country life. This painting vibrantly illustrates the activity of partridge shooting, framed within a serene English landscape. The artwork captures several figures partaking in the hunt. In the foreground, one man equipped with a firearm and attended by a pair of eager hunting dogs, is shown in the act of shooting. Another man holding the reins of a spirited grey horse looks on, while a third figure in the background adds depth and continuity to the scene.The background scenery is marked by lush trees, expansive fields, and a distant blue river, creating a calm juxtaposition to the immediate action of the hunt. The sky, half-filled with clouds, bathes the scene in natural light, accentuating vivid greens and earthy browns which dominate the palette.Howitt’s illustration is not just a mere sporting narrative; it simultaneously celebrates the beauty of the English countryside and the then-popular pastime of game shooting. This painted scene, with its detailed rendering of people, animals, and nature, invites viewers to glimpse into a moment of daily life in 18th century England, filled with dynamism and a touch of idyllic tranquillity.
