John Wootton excelled in classical landscapes and sporting scenes, some on canvases of large proportions. The present drawing, though modest in size, represents an important hunting subgenre for Wootton: group portraits of hounds. Early in his career, Wootton painted numerous pictures in which hounds took center stage and humans played little or no role; for instance, “Hounds and a Magpie” (ca. 1716, Hermitage), formerly in Sir Robert Walpole’s collection, which was sold to Catherine the Great. ---
Stylistically, this drawing bears some resemblance to “Althorp Hounds and the Magpie” (collection of the Earl Spencer), a fact emphasized by the “trompe de chasse” (hunting horn) suspended from a branch. A painting in the Yale Center for British Art, Releasing the Hounds (ca. 1740–50, B2001.2.290), offers even more striking compositional correspondence. Although dissimilar in size and techniques, they complete each other in that they represent different stages of hunting ritual—a theme that Wootton fully exploited in a set of four hunting scenes, from the gathering prior to the hunt up to the kill, known today through engravings by Bernard Baron dated 1726. It is difficult, in the present case, to know with certainty if the scene takes place before or after the hunt (no spoil is shown). The hounds, as Wootton captured them, are at rest among themselves, almost as if they were interacting. While some of Wootton’s studies denote a careful attention to hounds’ morphology (see, for instance, a sketch attributed to Wootton in The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, San Marino, Calif.), the artist seems here less concerned with physiological minutiae than with psychological perceptiveness. Wootton’s masterly appreciation of canine pantomime, where postures and inflexions appear capable of conveying emotions, results in a very refined conversation piece. This makes Wootton a predecessor, in every respect, of George Stubbs’s fine pictorial and psychological interpretation of animal character. --- ---
