Original Description
The Meet by Harold Septimus Power captures the thrilling essence of Australian pastoral life with dramatic energy and masterful realism. Painted around 1923, this dynamic work depicts horsemen and hounds gathered eagerly at daybreak, their taut silhouettes cutting against a misty landscape awash with golden dawn light. Power (1877-1951), renowned as one of Australia's finest equestrian artists, combines academic precision with impressionistic brushwork – notice how the swirling morning fog is rendered in loose, expressive strokes while each horse's musculature appears anatomically exact. The painting represents Australia's distinctive pastoral narrative tradition, occupying a significant place between 19th-century colonial romanticism and 20th-century modernism. The dramatic diagonals of reins and riders create visceral movement, placing viewers directly within the anticipatory moment before the hunt.
For interior settings, this 76x102cm oil painting commands attention best in spaces benefiting from its rustic vitality and golden palette. Ideal above a leather Chesterfield sofa or in a timber-paneled study, its warm earth tones harmonize with cognac leathers, walnut woods, and botanical greens. The dynamic composition makes it perfect for balancing minimalist spaces - try hanging it opposite clean-lined furniture where its energetic brushwork creates visual counterpoint. In offices, position where natural light accentuates its dawn atmosphere, possibly paired with antique brass desk accessories echoing its golden hues. For galleries or stairwells, the substantial original size allows impactful viewing from multiple angles, though high-quality reproductions work well scaled proportionally above consoles or sideboards. The hunting scene particularly suits country-style interiors when framed in distressed gold or rustic oak to enhance its pastoral character.
