Description
This large antique 19th century hand-colored engraving titled The Meet at Melton depicts an elaborate fox hunting scene after the painting by F. Grant and was engraved by W. Humphreys, published by Graves & Co., offering finely detailed equestrian and sporting imagery that anchors a room with old-world English character, all presented in its original period giltwood frame with clearly visible age and patina.
