Full Cry

In this art tapestry “Full Cry” we see the painting by British artist William Shayer (1787-1879). Here we see a hunter on horseback leaping across a river on a hunt with their trusted foxhounds. The scene is filled with movement as the hounds and horses are in motion during this sport of the nobles popular in Europe and Britain. The scene is a famous one from Shayer as it is dramatic and slightly exaggerates the height of the leap of the horse to enable him and his ride in full top hat and attire to be the center of attention of this scene. This fine art tapestry “Full Cry” is unlined and has a tunnel for easy hanging.
