A finely executed and highly decorative pair of Edwardian fox-hunting oil paintings by the British sporting artist Philip Henry Rideout, each signed lower right and dated 1910.
These charming equestrian scenes are clearly conceived as companion pieces, forming a balanced pendant pair. The compositions depict horse-drawn carriages with elegantly dressed gentlemen, and mounted riders in traditional hunt attire set within the English countryside, beautifully capturing the movement and atmosphere of early 20th-century sporting life.
Medium: Oil on panel
Image size: 17.5 x 12 inches each
Framed size: 26.5 x 21 inches each
Frames: Original giltwood frames
Both works remain in very good overall condition. One panel shows a slight pressure dent to the sky area, which is unobtrusive and does not detract from display. The paint surfaces are stable and present attractively.
Rideout was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is well regarded for his traditional s
...porting subjects, particularly hunting and equestrian scenes. Works of this period reflect the Edwardian country house aesthetic and remain highly sought after by collectors of British sporting art.
The pair would display beautifully in a library, study, country house interior, or equestrian setting. Their moderate scale makes them versatile while the original gilt frames provide strong visual presence.
A desirable signed and dated Edwardian sporting pair.
