Still life “AFTER THE SHOOT” H Tickner (British) dated 1901, oil on canvas

A beautifully atmospheric British still life painting by H. Tickner, dated 1901. Titled After the Shoot, the composition depicts game birds arranged against a rustic wicker basket and wooden ledge.

The painting features pigeons, partridges and a pheasant, carefully arranged to create a rich and traditional sporting still life. The warm brown tones of the wicker and wooden surfaces contrast with the softer grey and russet feathers of the birds.

Strong directional light falls across the composition, highlighting the textures of the feathers, basket and wood. The dark background adds depth and gives the painting a dramatic, intimate quality.

Signed H. Tickner and dated 1901, the work is painted in oil on canvas. It is now presented in an impressive ornate gilt frame with richly carved floral and foliate decoration.

The frame has a warm, aged-gold finish that complements the traditional subject beautifully. Together, the painting and frame have a particularly decorative presence.
