Sir Richard Sutton's Most Famous Hunter Hotspur
c.1840
24 X 28.5 inches framed
A genuinely famous hunter! Even mention in Whyte-Melville's riding recollections (1878). Hotspur was Sir Richard Sutton's favorite and most famous hunter. Standing 17 hands high and a full Thoroughbred he was not was not backwards in going forwards! Mentioned in Country Life December 28th 1907 'the best stud in Quorn in the past was probably that of Sir Richard Sutton, which consisted of big thoroughbred horses. Sir Richard, they say, never was as happy as when on the back of his 17h. chestnut Hotspur.'
The original part of Sir Richard's will relating to this painting is attached to the reverse of this painting - Marvellous!
