Based on the masterwork by legendary American illustrator Arthur Burdett Frost (A. B. Frost), the artwork depicts an adult hunter seen from behind, clad in a heavy tan winter coat, aiming his shotgun into a light puff of smoke toward a flushed rabbit darting across a snow-dusted, frost-covered field. Standing close by on the right, a young boy in a dark cap and jacket watches intently while carrying a gathered game bag, while two hunting hounds trail closely through the brush behind them. The sprawling landscape transitions from sparse field grasses to a thick line of winter trees and bare birches beneath a heavy, overcast grey sky, while the print carefully preserves the original composition, the artist's signature in the lower right, and clean title typography along the bottom margin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe composition stems from Frost's legendary \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eShooting Pictures\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eportfolio, originally commissioned and published in 1895 by Charles Scribner's Sons. A. B. Frost (1851–1928) is widely considered the quintessential artist of American sporting life, renowned for combining rigorous anatomical precision with an authentic, non-romanticized view of rural hunting culture. This particular scene is historically important because it documents the traditional, specialized practice of \"battery\" or sinkbox hunting on vast coastal bays before the method was heavily restricted or banned for conservation purposes. Released as part of an elite, limited-edition commemorative run of 750 copies by Winchester Press, this plate serves as a vital cultural artifact of late Victorian outdoor sporting heritage and early American realism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: H 11” x 17” W\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition: In very good condition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANTONIO RAIMO GALLERY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67605561245975,"sku":"PR0504-58","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/3607\/0679\/files\/PR0504-58.1.jpg?v=1790781645","url":"https:\/\/antonioraimogallery.com\/products\/rabbit-shooting-by-arthur-burdett-frost-a-b-frost","provider":"ANTONIO RAIMO GALLERY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
