More about this artwork

Samuel Howitt's "Grouse Shooting," painted in 1796, vividly captures a moment from a traditional British field sport. The scene is set against a sweeping landscape that showcases undulating hills and a dramatic, cloud-filled sky, which contributes to a sense of movement and immediacy.In the center of the composition, a gentleman, adorned in a period-appropriate green coat and black hat, is perched atop a rich chestnut horse. With a focused gaze and a poised shotgun, he takes aim at a grouse that is in mid-flight to his left. The presence of the grouse, dynamically illustrated, adds a live action feel to the work.Accompanying the horseman are two eager hunting dogs, intricately detailed and full of life. Displaying keen instincts, one dog points towards the bird, while the other appears to watch intently, adding to the scene's realism and energy.This painting is not only a representation of a sporting event but also a meticulous depiction of 18th-century outdoor attire, animal breeds, and landscapes, providing a window into the era's leisure activities and aesthetic preferences.
