Watercolor Engraving By Cecil Aldin (b)

Watercolor engraving by Cecil Aldin, a famous British artist specializing in equestrian and hunting scenes.

The work depicts a hound hunt in full action: a pack of hounds launched into a gallop crosses a plowed field, while in the background the red-clad riders cross the hedges and follow the chase through the English countryside.

The lively composition finely renders the movement of the dogs and the elegance of the horses.

Cecil Aldin is particularly sought-after for this type of subject, emblematic of the English hunting tradition.

His precise, narrative line, combined with a soft palette, lends this scene great decorative quality and true authenticity.

Work framed under glass in a wooden frame with passe-partout.
