🎨 Deer Stalking in Scotland: Getting Ready, 1851
by Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait 🏴
Oil on canvas. 66.8 x 46.2 cm.
Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, USA
About the Artwork:
In this painting, Tait likely presents a scene of preparation before a deer stalking expedition in Scotland — a popular sport among the British aristocracy and wealthy tourists during the Victorian era. The composition would focus on one or several figures, possibly hunters and their assistants, as they ready their equipment and themselves for the hunt. The setting would be distinctly Scottish, perhaps featuring elements like the rugged Highlands or misty moorlands, providing a rich, atmospheric backdrop.
