The Fox Hunt was Homer's first work of art to enter a major museum collection, and it began the process of his future financial security, within the following several years. Homer's The Fox Hunt, completed in 1893, was purchased by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, in Philadelphia, after it was on exhibit in the academy’s annual show.
The scene is mid-winter, along the New England coast. The center figure, the fox, is shown to be struggling through the heavy drifts of snow, looking for food. The fox seems aware of a flock of black crows, hovering and circling, also looking for food. In Maine, it is natural for flocks of starving crows, to actually attack a fox as food after a long winter. The crows rely on their large numbers and the weakened condition of the fox. The fox seems at a disadvantage in the painting, as it is slow to advance in the deep snow, making it very vulnerable and difficult to defend himself in the vast landscape of white snow.
Homer uses deep colors, and intricate detail. Motion and depth are shown by the shadowing effect under the fox. Waves are painted crashing on the jagged rock, with greenish-white splashes of brushstroke, and very thin, fine strokes, portraying branches of vegetation emerging from the deep, white snow. A twig or two of the former summer's red berry bush are still peeking out, adding a redeeming factor, in this cold, somber scene.
