"A Hound Flushing a Pheasant in a Landscape" is a painting by the French artist Alexandre-François Desportes (1661–1743), who is renowned for his work as a painter of animals, hunting scenes, and still lifes. Desportes, who was influenced by the Dutch animaliers and was a precursor to Jean-Baptiste Oudry, combined his passion for hunting with his artistic talent to create dynamic compositions that often featured game and hunting dogs in naturalistic settings.

The painting depicts a moment of tension and anticipation in the hunt, as a hound, with its body poised and muscles tensed, flushes a pheasant from its hiding place in the underbrush. The landscape serves as more than just a backdrop; it is an integral part of the narrative, providing context and enhancing the sense of movement and immediacy in the scene. Desportes' attention to detail in the rendering of the animals' fur and feathers, as well as the varied textures of the landscape, demonstrates his mastery of the genre and his ability to capture the essence of the hunt.

Created during the 18th century, a period when aristocratic patronage of hunting scenes was at its height, "A Hound Flushing a Pheasant in a Landscape" reflects the tastes and interests of the French elite. Desportes himself was highly favored at the court of Louis XIV and later at the Regency court, where his works were sought after for their vivacity and realism.

While the exact date of creation for this particular painting is not specified, Desportes' works are generally well-documented, often featuring in the inventories of royal and noble collections. "A Hound Flushing a Pheasant in a Landscape" is emblematic of Desportes' oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of the cultural and artistic milieu of the time. The painting is not only a testament to Desportes' skill as an artist but also serves as a historical record of the hunting practices and environmental conditions of early 18th-century France.
