Description
Large Hunting Portrait Oil Painting Dog Pack Of Scent Foxhounds At Berkeley Hunt
This striking large-scale contemporary British sporting realism painting by Vicky Palmer depicts a powerful pack portrait of four English foxhounds of the Berkeley Hunt. The hounds are shown in intense side profile, all focused sharply to the right as if locked onto a scent. The composition is both dramatic and modern, with the hounds isolated against a restrained, neutral background, giving the painting a clean, architectural presence and strong interior impact.
Executed with exceptional realism and sensitivity, the work combines traditional British sporting subject matter with a contemporary gallery-style presentation, making it equally suited to classic country-house interiors or modern architectural spaces. The heads and shoulders dominate the canvas, creating scale, immediacy, and power. The anatomy and coat textures are handled with remarkable accuracy, with subtle transitions of fur, skin, and light.
Vicky Palmer is a well-established British contemporary animal and sporting artist, particularly known for hounds, dogs, livestock, and rural animal subjects. Her distinctive style often removes animals from their usual environment and places them into simplified or neutral settings, giving her work a modern, gallery-led aesthetic while retaining traditional draftsmanship.
The Berkeley Hunt is one of England’s oldest and most historically important foxhound packs, based in Gloucestershire. Hounds have been kept at Berkeley Castle since the 12th century, originally for stag and buck, and since the 18th century for foxhunting.
This painting sits within the great tradition of British sporting and animal art, yet feels distinctly contemporary. The subject is classic hunt portraiture, but the neutral, simplified setting and modern cropping give it a museum-like, gallery-forward presence. Large, high-quality contemporary hound paintings connected to historic packs such as Berkeley are increasingly sought after.
The painting is signed by the artist Vicky Palmer and presented in a high-quality contemporary white wood frame, professionally assembled using conservation materials. The framed size is 117 cm high x 117 cm wide x 4.5 cm deep, making it a true statement-scale piece.
Offered in very good overall condition, the painted surface is in excellent order. The frame shows minor wear, scuffs, and small handling marks consistent with use. Worldwide shipping is available, professionally packaged and fully insured for safe global delivery. Ready to hang, professionally framed and presented.
