Foxhounds at a Kennel Door

John Emms

Painted

c. 1890

Collection

Private collection

A pack of foxhounds gathered at a doorway, looking out. When Emms painted hounds in numbers he changed the focus between the front rank and the back, so only the nearest dogs are sharp and the rest soften with distance. That softening is what tells you how far back a piece belongs.
