EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oil painting on canvas, titled 'Box' by Louis-Joachim Colmet de Coutry, dates back to the late 18th century. The scene depicts three men engaged in an elegant hunting party in a pastoral setting. In the foreground, a rider on horseback, dressed in a fashionable red coat and tall hat, is shown releasing an arrow from his bow towards a deer, which stands still, seemingly unaware of the impending danger. A hunting dog, with its ears erect and tail wagging, waits attentively by the rider's side. In the background, another man on foot, dressed in a green coat and carrying a rifle, is seen calling out to his companions. The painting is decorated with intricate details, showcasing the artist's mastery of oil paint. The rich colors and textures of the landscape, the men's clothing, and the animals are brought to life with remarkable precision. The use of gold leaf and glass inlay adds an extra layer of sophistication to the artwork, reflecting the high-end techniques of the time, such as emaillerie and goldsmithery. The painting is presented in a letterbox format, with a narrower height than width, which was a popular choice for miniature paintings during the 18th century. The artwork is now part of the collection of Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, one of the most renowned museums for decorative arts in the city. The painting's panoramic view and the interplay of light and shadow create a sense of depth and movement, inviting the viewer to step into the scene and experience the excitement of the hunt.
