W. Larsen Original Fox Hunting Oil Painting English Hunt Horses Hounds Framed

This original oil painting on canvas, signed W. Larsen, presents a traditional English fox hunting scene with mounted riders and a lively pack of hounds crossing an open countryside landscape. At the center, a rider in a brilliant red hunting coat guides a dark horse through a dramatic leap, while additional horsemen follow across the rolling terrain.

The composition combines equestrian action with carefully rendered landscape details, including distant fields, mature trees, open sky, and a winding waterway on the horizon. The horses and hounds create a strong sense of movement across the foreground, while the restrained natural palette is punctuated by the distinctive scarlet hunting coats. The painting reflects the long tradition of British sporting and equestrian art.

The artwork is presented in a substantial ornate gold-tone frame with elaborate scrolling and foliate decoration. The wide decorative frame gives the painting an impressive traditional presentation and complements the historic character of the hunting subject. Ready to hang.

Collector’s Note

Traditional fox hunting imagery occupies a distinctive place within British sporting art, combining equestrian portraiture, landscape painting, and narrative action. This work incorporates many of the genre’s most recognizable elements: scarlet-coated riders, jumping horses, a running pack of hounds, and expansive English-style countryside.

The generous 24 × 20 inch canvas and substantial ornate frame give the painting considerable decorative presence. Its dynamic composition, classic sporting subject, original hand-painted execution, and clearly visible W. Larsen signature make it an appealing piece for collectors of equestrian art, traditional sporting paintings, hunting scenes, and English country-house interiors.
