Sporting Oil, English Pointer & Pheasant, Signed P. Reitin

24(h) × 36(w) inches. Oil on canvas, original unlined. Unframed.

A large and accomplished 19th century sporting painting — an English pointer locked on point as a ringneck pheasant breaks from cover in a woodland setting, atmospheric light filtering through the canopy above. The dog is rendered with real anatomical conviction and field presence: weight forward, nose down, tail rigid. The pheasant catches the light at the moment of flush. It is a well-constructed composition, theatrical without being overwrought, and executed with the kind of fluency that comes from a painter who understood both the landscape and the sport.

Signed lower right: P. Reitin. The canvas is in good condition — unlined, structurally sound, retaining its original surface. Ready to be stretched to a new strainer or mounted directly into a period gilt or ebonized frame at this scale.

A natural fit for a study, library, sporting lodge, or any interior where the traditions of the field are at home.
