Description
A trio of antique hand-colored sporting prints, likely aquatints or etchings with engraving, depicting traditional English hunting scenes. The set includes three distinct subjects titled in the lower margins: Heron-Hawking, Pheasant-Hawking, and Stag Hunting. The imagery features figures in late 18th-century equestrian and sporting attire, including riders on horseback, footmen with birds of prey, and packs of hounds in pursuit of game. The prints are characterized by fine line work and delicate hand-coloring in shades of green, brown, and blue. Each print is set within an off-white mat and housed in a matching dark wood frame with a thin gilt inner bead.
