Lot Essay

In his article 'Jan Wyck and John Wootton at Antony', Sir Oliver Millar compares this picture to Wyck's Gilbert, 4th Earl of Coventry with Horses and Hounds in a Landscape, at Antony, Cornwall (O. Millar, op.cit., p. 38, fig. 1): 'The composition [of the Coventry Picture] is full of interesting narrative detail, comparable, perhaps, in a more peaceful field, to Wyck's masterpiece: a picture (at Pitchford Hall) of a military encampment'.
