The work is signed lower right and presented in a decorative black and gilt frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"325\" data-end=\"766\"\u003eWolstenholme came from a noted family of English sporting painters and is best known for hunting, equestrian, coaching and country sporting subjects. This atmospheric example captures the movement and drama of the chase, with the white horse and rider standing out against the darker wooded landscape, while the hounds run ahead across the foreground. The dramatic sky and rich, earthy palette give the painting a strong decorative presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"768\" data-end=\"1227\"\u003eThe painting has been given a light clean, which has lifted some surface dirt, though it retains a dark overall tone. This appears likely to be due to the work having been left unvarnished or exposed for some time, allowing dirt to become embedded in the paint surface. There is age-related craquelure, surface wear, ingrained dirt and some old marks, all consistent with a 19th-century oil painting of this type. The frame has general wear but presents well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1229\" data-end=\"1363\"\u003eA charming and characterful 19th-century English sporting picture, well suited to a traditional, country house or equestrian interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1365\" data-end=\"1752\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1365\" data-end=\"1376\"\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dean Wolstenholme the Younger\u003cbr data-start=\"1406\" data-end=\"1409\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1409\" data-end=\"1419\"\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hunting Scene\u003cbr data-start=\"1433\" data-end=\"1436\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1436\" data-end=\"1445\"\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19th century\u003cbr data-start=\"1458\" data-end=\"1461\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1461\" data-end=\"1472\"\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil on board\u003cbr data-start=\"1485\" data-end=\"1488\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1488\" data-end=\"1504\"\u003eFramed Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35 x 46 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1515\" data-end=\"1518\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1518\" data-end=\"1533\"\u003eImage Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29 x 39 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1544\" data-end=\"1547\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1547\" data-end=\"1557\"\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black and gilt frame\u003cbr data-start=\"1578\" data-end=\"1581\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1581\" data-end=\"1595\"\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signed faintly lower middle-right\u003cbr data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"1617\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1617\" data-end=\"1631\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightly cleaned, with remaining ingrained dirt, craquelure, surface wear and age-related marks.
