Captain Barrington Price with His Favourite Hunter

1804
Oil on canvas, 102 x 127 cm
Private collection

This painting shows Captain Barrington Price with his favourite hunter outside Beckett House, Shrivenham, Berkshire, with his brother Major Price on the portico; a groom holding "Sailor" beyond. The painting is entirely typical of the painter's dramatic use of local colour and vivid drawing.
