"Foxhunting Coming to a Fence" is a painting by the 19th-century British artist William Joseph Shayer, who was known for his depictions of rural life, landscapes, and particularly for his hunting and animal scenes. This work captures the dynamic moment of a traditional British fox hunt, with riders in red coats and a pack of hounds in full pursuit of their quarry, about to leap over a fence. The painting is characteristic of Shayer's attention to detail and his ability to convey the movement and excitement of the hunt.

Born in Southampton in 1811, William Joseph Shayer established himself as a self-taught artist, and his works often reflect the countryside of Hampshire and the activities associated with it. "Foxhunting Coming to a Fence" exemplifies Shayer's skill in rendering equine subjects and his understanding of the social rituals of the hunt, a popular sport among the British gentry of the time. The painting is noted for its vibrant portrayal of the English landscape, the energetic composition, and the sense of immediacy it brings to the viewer.

While the exact date of creation for "Foxhunting Coming to a Fence" is not readily available, Shayer's active period as an artist spanned from the 1830s to the 1870s, suggesting that this work would have been produced within that timeframe. The painting is one of several by Shayer that explore the theme of foxhunting, a subject that has become synonymous with the rural British identity of the Victorian era.

As with many of Shayer's works, "Foxhunting Coming to a Fence" would likely have appealed to the Victorian middle and upper classes, who held an affinity for such sporting scenes. Today, the painting stands as a historical document of British cultural heritage, offering insight into the leisure activities of the period and the aesthetic values of the time. It is a testament to Shayer's reputation as a prominent artist in the genre of sporting and animal paintings in 19th-century Britain.
