The Antiques Hound has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
Rideout was celebrated for his ability to capture movement, anatomy, and atmosphere, and this composition exemplifies his skill. The horses are rendered with energy and accuracy, while the sweeping landscape and soft, muted sky provide depth and balance to the scene. The painting conveys both the excitement and tradition of late Victorian field sports.
The work is presented in a period gilt frame that complements the painting beautifully and enhances its antique character.
