Lot #5: "Autumn Meeting" by Heywood Hardy - Large Framed Print

Very fine Large reproduction/print of the famous/classic hunting scene titled "Autumn Meeting" (also known simply as "The Meet") by the English artist Heywood Hardy (1842-1933). Hardy was a highly respected 19th century animal artist, famously known for his detailed equestrian portraits and sporting scenes. "Autumn Meeting" is one of his most recognizable works and was featured as a set piece in the television series "Twin Peaks". Subject: A group of riders in traditional hunting red coats and formal attire gathered with a pack of foxhounds, capturing the atmosphere of a traditional English hunt. Use in "Twin Peaks" from 'Twin Peaks Blog': "If you look closely at the art on the walls of the Marsh mansion, you'll notice a fox hunting motif. Two of the three themed pieces in the guest bedroom are too small to identiyf, but the large matted print above James Hurley's bed is clear enough to confirm as Heywood Hardy's "Autumn Meeting". Hardy was frequently commissioned to paint for wealthy collectors, making this a perfect piece for the affluent Evelyn Marsh to display."
