John Nost Sartorius was one of the leading sporting artists of his day, and was patronized by the most famous sportsmen, including the Prince of Wales, the Earl of Derby, and others. The present set of four pictures is an imagined narrative of a fox hunt rather than a portrait of any particular sitter or horse; it was likely intended to hang in a country home.
