Art Deco Trifold Screen with Hand-Painted Scenic Fox Hunting Motif, Circa 1920s. A lively composition, this 3-panel hand-painted work on textile displays three figures in red on horseback accompanied by a group of greyhounds as they embark on a fox hunt. The placement of a lone red fox cleverly hidden behind a central tree puts the viewer in their same line of sight (much like the screen was meant to shield one from public view). You can feel the motion within this piece as the horses and tree extend between the panels. Executed on a black natural woven jute-like ground within an ebonized trifold wood frame. The painted scene is rendered in a pared down palette of cream, blue-grey and red. Perfect for use as designed, or wall-mounted as art. The reverse of the screen was left unpainted. Unsigned.
