Athenaeum, 1 May 1875:
… a scene outside the gates of a park. A huntsman offers to a lady seated in a waggonette the spoil of the hunt – a fox’s tail. This is, probably, a group of portraits. The subject is certainly not a fortunate one for an artist of ability. We fancy the bright brown horse in the centre is a little too thin, both as to its contours and its painting. But the picture is brightly and, generally, solidly painted.
Illustrated London News, 15 May 1875:
… another hunting-subject, ‘Handing the Brush’ (385), by Eyre Crowe, which, on account of its comparative freedom from hardness, we prefer to the artist’s more elaborate efforts.
Eyre Crowe (1824-1910)
