a beautiful print on paper by william j. Shayer, engraved by j. Harris, created in 1864, belonging to the realist movement, entitled "dead beat".

the artwork depicts a typical victorian-era hunting trip with dogs, featuring several riders in the background, dressed in the red jackets customary for this type of hunting.

the engraving showcases an open landscape, the movement of the animals, and the balanced, academic composition characteristic of shayer's work. Harris's transfer to paper maintains the structure and essence of the scene.
it comes in a dark wood frame. This work is a canonical example of english realism applied to hunting scenes, highly valued at the time both for their sporting significance and their documentary value regarding daily life.
