"William Long, Huntsman to the Beaufort, on his Grey Hunter 'Bertha' with Three Hounds" is an 1847 painting by the British artist William Barraud. The work is a fine example of Barraud's equestrian portraiture, a genre in which he specialized and gained considerable recognition during the 19th century. The painting depicts William Long, a renowned huntsman of the prestigious Beaufort Hunt, one of the oldest and most notable fox hunting packs in England, established by the Duke of Beaufort.

In the painting, Long is portrayed mounted on his grey hunter, Bertha, accompanied by three of the hunt's hounds. The composition captures the poise and elegance of both the rider and his steed, set against a landscape that suggests the rural setting typical of a traditional English hunt. The attention to detail in the rendering of the figures and animals reflects Barraud's skill in capturing the essence of the hunting scene, a subject that was popular among the British gentry and resonated with the Victorian audience's appreciation for country sports.

William Barraud (1810-1850) was known for his collaboration with his brother, Henry Barraud, with whom he produced several notable works. His paintings often featured animals, particularly horses and dogs, and he was adept at conveying their anatomy and movement with accuracy and vitality. "William Long, Huntsman to the Beaufort, on his Grey Hunter 'Bertha' with Three Hounds" is a testament to Barraud's artistic legacy and remains a significant piece within the canon of British sporting art. The painting not only offers a glimpse into the sporting life of the era but also serves as a historical record of the individuals and animals that were part of the esteemed Beaufort Hunt tradition.
