Task 3: Badsworth Hunt

Badsworth - a village and civil parish in the city of Wakefield, Yorkshire, England - was the setting for this oil on board painting by George Anderson Short (1856-1945). Entitled 'Badsworth Hunt coming out at Cowick Park, Snaith 1922', the painting was recently sold at McTear's auction house in Glasgow, Scotland for 260 pounds.

The Badsworth Hunt itself is still very much alive. However the hunt due to take place on the 15th September 2008, was cancelled due to poor weather conditions.
