"Stalking, Setting Off; And Stalking, The Return" are two notable paintings by the British artist George Earl, renowned for his depictions of sporting and animal subjects, particularly dogs. Created in the 19th century, these works exemplify Earl's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the hunting experience, a popular pastime among the British aristocracy of the era.

George Earl, born in 1824, was part of a distinguished family of artists, including his daughter, Maud Earl, who also gained fame for her animal portraits. Earl's works are celebrated for their realistic portrayal and dynamic composition, often reflecting the social and cultural milieu of Victorian England. "Stalking, Setting Off; And Stalking, The Return" are no exceptions, showcasing his skill in rendering both the physicality and the spirit of the hunt.

The paintings depict the beginning and end of a stalking expedition, a form of hunting where the hunter stealthily approaches game. "Stalking, Setting Off" captures the anticipation and preparation as hunters and their dogs set out into the countryside. The scene is rich with detail, from the hunters' attire to the varied landscape, illustrating Earl's keen observational skills and his ability to convey narrative through imagery.

In contrast, "Stalking, The Return" portrays the conclusion of the hunt. The hunters and their dogs are depicted returning, likely weary but triumphant, with the spoils of their expedition. The composition and mood of this painting reflect a sense of accomplishment and the bond between the hunters and their canine companions.

Together, these paintings not only highlight George Earl's artistic prowess but also offer a window into the cultural practices and social dynamics of his time. They remain significant works within the genre of sporting art, appreciated for their historical value and artistic merit.
