George Henry Laporte was the son of the artist John Laporte (1761-1839). He first exhibited at the British Institution in 1818, and was a founding member of the Royal Institute of Artists. He was appointed animal painter to the King of Hanover, and to the Duke of Cumberland. The Hanover Museum of Art hangs his Cheval et Piqueur. Laporte specialised in equestrian paintings of fox hunting, racing, coaching and shooting subjects, and contributed 43 plates to The Sporting Magazine. The present picture shows a huntsman who has been thrown off course, losing the rest of the hunt.
