Description
John Crocker Bulteel (1793-1843), of Fleet, Holbeton, Devon, MP for South Devon 1832-4, Sheriff of Devon 1841. A picture of perfect contentment, relaxing by the fireside at Flete after a hard day's hunting and a hearty meal of roast beef and fine claret and port, still in his hunting attire and with two of his favourite foxhounds at his feet.
Christie's 2013 catalogue entry: He is seen here in his parlour taking his ease after a day’s hunting. With him, in prime position in front of the blazing fire, are two of his favourite hounds, possibly the same as those depicted by Lewis in his Marmion and Lazarus, foxhounds in the pack of J. C. Bulteel, Esq., exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1829 (no. 978; present location unknown). This or a similar image was engraved by his brother, C. G. Lewis, in 1834, as Fox hounds in the pack of J. C. Bulteel Esqre MP / from a drawing in the possession of Lord Northwick. The engraving was subsequently published in Sporting (1838, pl. 30, p. 105), an illustrated volume by C. J. Apperley (Nimrod), to accompany ‘Stanzas on two fox-hounds in the pack of J. C. Bulteel, Esq., M.P.’.
