Vintage Snaffles Hunting Print, Foxcatchers - For the Love of It.
An original colour artist's proof photolithograph by Charles "Snaffles" Johnson Payne, titled Foxcatchers - For the Love of It. This engaging composition reworks elements from Snaffles' earlier piece The Sportsman, depicting a mounted gentleman in traditional hunting attire, top hat and red coat (hunting pink) pausing to survey flooded ground ahead.
Adding further charm, the print features a delightful remarque in the lower right corner, adapted from another of Snaffles' works, The Spooney. This vignette shows an elegantly dressed gentleman admiring his reflection in a shop window, accompanied by the witty caption: "For the ride out and the ride home".
The print is presented in a modern black frame and remains in good, clean condition. It bears the artist's distinctive blindstamp, a bridle bit, in the lower left corner, confirming authenticity, and is signed in pencil by the artist.
Snaffles is renowned for his unique ability to combine humour with keen observation of sporting life, often enhancing his works with characterful captions and remarques. His prints continue to be highly sought after by collectors for their wit, detail, and timeless appeal.
