This picture shows the hunt in full cry in the Vale of Belvoir. The Vale is a celebrated area of natural beauty on the borders of Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, and is dominated by Belvoir Castle, the ancestral home of the family of the Dukes of Rutland. The Vale is renowned hunting country and the Belvoir hunt remains to this day one of the most preeminent foxhunts in England.

The picture was commissioned from the artist by J. Atkinson Esq., who appears in the centre of the composition riding the dark chestnut.
