Antique Hand-Colored Hunting Engraving, Chasseur Au Tir | Jazet after Carle Vernet, 1830s | Framed French Equestrian Art

Carle Vernet spent his career watching horses move — the tension in a rider's shoulders, the burst of dogs through underbrush, the exact moment a hunter's aim steadies before the shot. This engraving, "Chasseur Au Tir," carries that eye forward through the hands of Jean Pierre Marie Jazet, the engraver who translated Vernet's original into a print that could travel far beyond the studio where it was drawn.

The scene captures a hunt mid-motion: a huntsman in a red coat takes aim on foot, a mounted rider looks on from horseback, and hounds surge ahead through the trees. Jazet's hand-coloring brings warmth to the muted greens, browns, and blues of the forest, giving the print a painterly depth rare in engravings of its era. It survives in its original frame, the paper carrying the soft toning of nearly two centuries.

The engraving presents in genuine antique condition, with age-related wear consistent with its early 19th-century origins. Both the print and its frame carry the quiet authority of something made to last.
