Follower of Thomas Barker of Bath - 19th Century Oil, The Earth Stopper
An atmospheric moonlit scene depicting an earth stopper at work. On the night before a hunt, it was the earth stopper's task to block the fox earths so that the fox could not escape underground, therefore allowing the hunt to get a good run. This had to be done at night, whilst the fox was hunting and away from its den. The work bears a faint signature of Thomas Barker of Bath (1769–1847) to the lower right, although we do not believe this attribution to be authentic. Well presented in a gilt frame. On canvas.
