Painting Description
"Sir Robert Leighton after Coursing, with a Groom and a Couple of Greyhounds" is a distinguished painting by the renowned British artist John Ferneley Sr. Ferneley, who lived from 1782 to 1860, is celebrated for his masterful equestrian and sporting scenes, which vividly capture the essence of 19th-century British aristocratic life. This particular work exemplifies Ferneley's exceptional ability to portray the dynamic relationship between humans and animals, a hallmark of his artistic legacy.
The painting depicts Sir Robert Leighton, an esteemed figure of his time, in the aftermath of a coursing event. Coursing, a popular sport among the British gentry, involved greyhounds chasing game, typically hares, by sight rather than scent. The scene is set in a picturesque rural landscape, characteristic of Ferneley's attention to detail and his skill in rendering natural settings. Sir Robert is accompanied by a groom and two elegant greyhounds, which are depicted with remarkable anatomical precision and lifelike presence.

The attire of Sir Robert and the groom, along with the finely detailed tack and harness of the horses, reflect the period's fashion and the social status of the individuals portrayed. The greyhounds, central to the sport of coursing, are depicted in a poised and alert stance, highlighting their agility and grace.
This painting not only serves as a visual document of a specific historical and cultural practice but also underscores Ferneley's contribution to the genre of sporting art. His works are highly regarded for their historical accuracy, artistic quality, and their ability to convey the spirit of the times. "Sir Robert Leighton after Coursing, with a Groom and a Couple of Greyhounds" remains a significant piece within Ferneley's oeuvre, offering insight into the leisure pursuits of the British elite during the early 19th century.
