Sketch for Buck-shooting in Windsor Great Park 1825

John Frederick Lewis's "Sketch for Buck-shooting in Windsor Great Park" (1825) is a dynamic depiction of a hunting scene in the English countryside. The sketch features a group of riders and hunters on horseback, with a fallen stag at the center of the composition. Lewis's use of loose brushstrokes and washes of color creates a sense of movement and immediacy, capturing the energy and excitement of the hunt.
