Created in France circa 1880 and hand-painted on canvas, each work is presented in its original carved and gilded wood frame with intricate foliate detailing. The pair depicts traditional chasse à courre (or hunt with hounds), a classic French sporting tradition. One composition captures the intense moment of pursuit: riders in formal red hunting coats gallop after a deer through a sunlit clearing, with hounds in full chase. The second scene presents a more composed moment, as three mounted hunters pause in a peaceful wooded park. Rich with atmosphere and detailed naturalism, both paintings showcase Florantin’s refined technique and eye for narrative. Each piece is signed in the lower right corner by the artist, Florantin. The paintings are in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and feature vivid, well-preserved colors and fine brushwork. A striking and historically evocative addition to any traditional interior, these large-scale works will appeal to collectors of sporting art and lovers of French 19th-century landscapes.
