Original Description
Arthur Wardle’s Closing In; And On The Scent is a vibrant and dynamic portrayal of hunting dogs in action, capturing the raw energy and intensity of the chase. Painted in the late 19th or early 20th century, Wardle’s work exemplifies the British sporting art tradition, blending realism with a keen sense of movement. The composition focuses on a pack of hounds closing in on their prey, their muscular forms and expressive faces rendered with meticulous detail. The earthy palette and dramatic lighting heighten the sense of urgency, immersing the viewer in the excitement of the hunt. Wardle, renowned for his animal paintings, bridges Victorian naturalism and early modern dynamism, making this piece a notable example of his ability to convey both anatomical precision and emotional intensity. Though less celebrated than some contemporaries, his works remain prized for their technical mastery and evocative subject matter.
For interior decor, Closing In; And On The Scent would make a striking statement in a traditional study, hunting lodge, or rustic-chic living space. Its rich browns and deep greens harmonize with leather furniture, wood paneling, or vintage-inspired textiles, while the energetic composition adds vitality to the room. A medium to large-sized framed print or original (if available) would command attention above a fireplace, bookshelf, or entryway, ideally in natural or warm artificial lighting to enhance its earthy tones. Pair it with equestrian or wildlife-themed decor, brass accents, or classic oil paintings to reinforce a timeless aesthetic. In an office, it could inspire focus and dynamism—particularly for those who appreciate sporting themes or historical art. Opt for a gilded or dark wood frame to complement its heritage without overwhelming the space.
