"The Fathers of the Pack, Hounds of the Pytchley Hunt" is a painting by the 19th-century British artist William Barraud, who specialized in animal and sporting scenes. The work is a notable example of Barraud's expertise in capturing the essence of hunting scenes, which were a popular subject during the Victorian era. The painting depicts a group of foxhounds, known as the "Fathers of the Pack," which were part of the Pytchley Hunt, a well-known fox hunt based in Northamptonshire, England.

William Barraud (1810–1850) worked alongside his brother Henry Barraud after initially starting his career as a clerk. The brothers collaborated on several paintings, with William focusing on the animals while Henry often painted the human figures. "The Fathers of the Pack" showcases William Barraud's skill in rendering the physical characteristics and individual personalities of the hounds, set against the backdrop of the English countryside.

The Pytchley Hunt has a rich history dating back to the 18th century and is named after the village of Pytchley, where it was originally formed. The hunt has been associated with the traditions of British fox hunting and the rural gentry. Barraud's painting serves not only as a work of art but also as a historical record of the esteemed hounds that were integral to the sport and the social fabric of the time.

The painting is significant for its artistic merit, its representation of a traditional British pastime, and its contribution to the genre of animal painting. It captures a moment in time that reflects the values and interests of the British upper class during Barraud's lifetime. As such, "The Fathers of the Pack, Hounds of the Pytchley Hunt" is an important piece within the oeuvre of William Barraud and a valuable cultural artifact from the Victorian period.
