Enhance a study or office with this distinguished antique oil on canvas, painted in England circa 1890. The composition features three hunting dogs resting at the edge of a wooded clearing, rendered with sensitivity and realism. Signed in the lower left corner by R. Valley, an English artist active in the late 19th century, the work reflects his reputation for finely observed depictions of sporting dogs and pastoral scenes. Valley’s art captures the Victorian era’s reverence for nature, leisure, and the working animals of the rural elite.
Executed in a subdued, naturalistic palette, the painting emphasizes the lifelike presence and attentive expressions of the hounds, set against a softly lit, autumnal landscape. The artist’s deft brushwork blends anatomical precision with atmospheric depth, making this a compelling example of British sporting art.
Housed in its original giltwood frame adorned with shell and scroll motifs, the piece measures 28.25 inches wide by 32.5 inches high and 2.5 inches deep. The canvas remains affixed to its original keyed stretcher, a hallmark of 19th-century craftsmanship.
A timeless and evocative work, ideal for a traditional library, gentleman’s study, or English country-style interior.
