Portrait of a hunter in his pinks on a stationary horse, with hounds. The setting is a country scene with a manor house in the background and rolling hills. Lionel Edwards was a British artist who specialised in painting horses and other aspects of British country life. He is best known for his hunting scenes but also painted pictures of horse racing, shooting and fishing. The son of a doctor, Edwards grew up at Benarth, a small estate in Conway, North Wales. His mother allowed him to study art in London, first with A. S. Cope and later at the Heatherley School of Fine Art and Frank Calderon's School of Animal Painting. He became the youngest member of the London Sketch Club at the age of 19.
