Getting the Scent” by George Wright, Framed and Matted  Professionally Framed by N. Shellengerg, Philadelphia  23” H x 31 1/2” W 1”D

Published by John Douthitt, 1941

This is a high-quality sporting print after an original watercolor by George Wright (1860–1942) — one of the most respected British painters of fox-hunting, coaching, and country sport.

The scene shows a mounted hunt field pausing while the hounds pick up the fox’s trail — a classic moment known as “getting the scent.”

George Wright was a leading English sporting artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

His work is closely associated with the golden age of British fox hunting and is highly collected today  

John Douthitt was one of America’s most respected sporting print publishers in the early 20th century.

The print is marked:

“From John Douthitt Collection – © 1941 John Douthitt”

That places it firmly in the golden era of American sporting prints.
