"The Meet; Breaking Cover; Full Cry; The Death" is a series of four paintings by the renowned 19th-century British artist John Frederick Herring Snr, who was celebrated for his depictions of horses and rural life. This quartet of works captures the various stages of a traditional British fox hunt, a subject that was popular and resonated with the sporting and rural gentry of the time. Each painting in the series is dedicated to a specific phase of the hunt, providing a narrative that progresses from the gathering of the hunters at the start to the conclusion of the chase.

The first painting, "The Meet," depicts the assembly of the hunters and their hounds, often set against the backdrop of a country estate, where the anticipation and social aspect of the hunt are highlighted. "Breaking Cover" illustrates the moment when the fox is spotted and the chase begins, with the hounds and riders in pursuit. "Full Cry" captures the hunt at its most intense, with the hounds in full pursuit and the riders galloping at speed. Finally, "The Death" presents the culmination of the hunt, where the fox is caught by the hounds, a scene that, while once celebrated, is now often viewed through a lens of historical context and changing attitudes towards animal welfare.

John Frederick Herring Snr's expertise in equine artistry is evident in the dynamic representation of the horses and the accurate portrayal of the hunt's excitement and movement. His work was highly regarded during his lifetime and continues to be appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts of sporting art. The series is a testament to Herring's skill in capturing the essence of 19th-century British country life and the sporting traditions of the era.
