Charles Olivier De Penne, Squire To The Prince Of Joinville, Hound Hunt, Hunting
Watercolor with gouache, signed lower right.
The Prince of Joinville’s hound pack hunted from 1845 to 1897 in the forests of Chantilly and Arc-en-Barrois.
The Prince of Joinville, an intrepid huntsman, was very fond of his dogs and had wild boars shot promptly with a rifle. All his hunting horses had a bay-brown undercoat.
Upon the Prince of Joinville’s return from exile, the beatmaster of the hunting party was Pauron, born in 1851 in Perroy, in the Nièvre department, to a father who was a gamekeeper. He later served as a beater at Cheverny. Research by Louis-Gaspard Siclon then lists the following hunting party personnel: Ernest Lavoisier (beater, born in Fleurines in the Oise department, age 29) in 1876, assisted by Léon Fréquelin (dog handler, born in Arc-en-Barrois, age 24); François-Victor Carbillet (beater, age 29) in 1881, assisted by Charles Fréquelin (born in Arc-en-Barrois); Victor Carbillet (beater) in 1886.
Starting in 1889, the hunts at Chantilly were nothing more than training hunts. He would break off into the woods of the Oise region: Nanteuil, Mello… Upon his death in 1897, the pack was sold to Jules du Souzy, as the son of the Prince of Joinville, the Duke of Penthièvre, did not care for the hunt on horseback.
