"A Bay Hunter in an Extensive Landscape" is an oil painting by John Ferneley Sr., an eminent English equestrian artist known for his detailed depictions of horses and rural life in the early 19th century. Created in 1826, this artwork exemplifies Ferneley's mastery in capturing the grace and vitality of equine subjects within the context of the British countryside. The painting portrays a bay hunter, a type of horse commonly used for fox hunting, standing prominently in a vast, open landscape that suggests the expansive rural settings of Leicestershire, where the artist was based for much of his career.

John Ferneley Sr. (1782–1860) began his artistic training under the tutelage of the renowned animal painter Ben Marshall before enrolling at the Royal Academy. Settling in Melton Mowbray, known as the heart of foxhunting in England, Ferneley developed a significant patronage among the hunting gentry, which allowed him intimate access to the field sports that he frequently depicted in his works. "A Bay Hunter in an Extensive Landscape" not only showcases Ferneley's technical skill in rendering the anatomical accuracy of the horse but also reflects the social and cultural milieu of the British aristocracy during the period.

The painting is noted for its detailed brushwork and the use of light to enhance the muscularity and glossy coat of the bay hunter, set against a softly rendered, idyllic landscape. This work remains a significant example of Ferneley's contribution to British sporting art and offers insights into the historical practices of rural sport and animal portraiture in the 19th century.
