Bring a sense of countryside tradition into your space with this dynamic French hunting scene. Painted circa 1920 and signed lower left by M. Pol, the oil on canvas is titled “La Vénerie du Cerf” (“The Stag Chase”). Though little is documented about the artist, M. Pol was active in early 20th-century France and appears to have specialized in traditional sporting subjects, capturing the spirit and pageantry of rural pursuits.
The composition captures a classic moment of the hunt in action, with red-coated riders on horseback and a lively pack of hounds pursuing a stag across a wooded landscape and into a reflective pond. The stag, caught mid-stride at the water’s edge, conveys urgency and movement, while the riders and hounds charge forward in close formation.
Rendered in rich autumnal tones with expressive brushwork, the painting reflects the romanticism of early 20th-century sporting art. It is set in a carved and painted wooden frame with floral details and a softly weathered finish that enhances its rustic appeal.
Measuring 47 inches wide (nearly 4 feet) by 27 inches high, this signed French painting offers a commanding presence and timeless decorative charm. Excellent condition commensurate with age and use.
