"Startled" is a renowned painting by the British artist Arthur Wardle, who is celebrated for his exceptional ability to depict animals with remarkable realism and vitality. Created in 1892, this oil on canvas artwork exemplifies Wardle's mastery in capturing the essence and dynamism of wildlife, a theme that permeates much of his oeuvre. The painting portrays a scene of sudden alarm, with a fox and a pheasant caught in a moment of heightened tension and movement. The fox, with its sleek, russet fur and alert posture, is depicted in mid-pounce, while the pheasant, with its vibrant plumage, takes flight in a desperate bid to escape.

Wardle's attention to detail is evident in the meticulous rendering of the animals' fur and feathers, as well as the lush, naturalistic background that situates the scene in a dense, verdant forest. The interplay of light and shadow adds depth and drama to the composition, enhancing the sense of immediacy and action. This painting not only showcases Wardle's technical prowess but also his deep understanding of animal behavior and anatomy, which he studied extensively throughout his career.

"Startled" is a testament to Wardle's ability to evoke emotion and narrative through his art. The painting has been praised for its dynamic composition and lifelike representation, earning a place in the annals of British wildlife art. It reflects the Victorian era's fascination with nature and the animal kingdom, themes that were prevalent in the art and literature of the time. Today, "Startled" continues to be admired for its artistic excellence and remains a significant work in Arthur Wardle's distinguished portfolio.
