"Golden Miller Winning The 1934 Aintree Grand National" Watercolor by Paul Brown
Located in Bristol, CT
Watercolor w/ gouache highlights
Art Sz: 12"H x 18"W
Frame Sz: 16"H x 22 1/2"W
Inscribed LL: The Freshest thing to win a National in years- and he broke the record at that. Golden Miller wins in 9:20 2/5 1934
Golden Miller (1927–1957) was a Thoroughbred racehorse who is the most successful Cheltenham Gold Cup horse ever, winning the race in five consecutive years between 1932 and 1936. He also is the only horse to win both of the United Kingdom's premier steeplechase races - the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Grand National - in the same year (1934).
Golden Miller was trained by Basil Briscoe in Longstowe, Cambridgeshire and owned by Dorothy Paget, who was the British flat racing Champion Owner in 1943, and the leading National Hunt owner in 1933-34, 1940–41 and 1951-52.
In 1931, Golden Miller made his steeplechasing debut at Newbury Racecourse where he finished first, only to be disqualified for carrying incorrect weight. On 30 December, he won the Reading Chase before winning the Sefton Steeplechase on 20 January 1932.
In 1933, as a six-year-old and winner of two Cheltenham Gold Cups, he started as the 9/1 favourite in the Grand National but fell at the Canal Turn.
In the 1934 Grand National win, he set a new course record of 9 min 20.4s for Aintree. This victory was the middle of five consecutive Gold Cup victories, a Gold Cup record.[2]
He retired in 1939 with a record of 29 wins from 52 races. He is buried at Elsenham Stud, a working farm in Elsenham, West Essex.
Artist Bio:
Paul Desmond Brown (1893-1958) was born in Minnesota and soon moved to New York City with his family. A quote from his biography:"Paul Brown told his host on a radio interview held in September of 1956, 'One day in 1904, I got 50 cents someplace and went over to the National Horse Show at the old Madison Square Garden and saw 'fine leppers,' [a term used for jumpers] as we called them, and Thoroughbreds for the first time.' From then on he appeared to be hooked on drawing horses."
At the age of 17, his family relocated again to Garden City on Long Island, where Brown had the opportunity to explore polo grounds...

Bullfighting Scene Gouache on paper
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Title: Bullfighting Scene
Artist: Roberto Domingo
Technique: Gouache on paper
Dimensions: 7 x 10 in (14 x 17.3 in with frame)
Period: 1930s
Style: Spanish Impressionism with Post-Impressionist influence
Condition: Framed in a classic wooden frame
Theme: Bullfighting scene
Description of the Artwork
"Bullfighting Scene" by Roberto Domingo is a vibrant and dynamic depiction of a typical moment in a bullring. The composition captures the drama and intensity of the moment, with a mounted picador on a striking white horse as the centerpiece, flanked by a matador and assistants preparing for the spectacle. The artwork radiates energy through swift and loose brushstrokes, imbuing the scene with movement and vitality.
Domingo’s style emphasizes visual synthesis, focusing on color and form rather than meticulous detail to convey the atmosphere of the bullfighting arena. Warm tones dominate, with vibrant yellows and reds contrasting against the grays and whites of the horse and costumes, creating a captivating chromatic interplay.
The classic frame adds sobriety and balance to the piece, further highlighting the expressive power of the gouache.
Biography of the Artist
Roberto Domingo Fallola (1883-1956), born in Paris, was a renowned painter and illustrator of Spanish descent. The son of the celebrated bullfighting painter Vicente Domingo, he inherited a passion for bullfights and became one of the leading exponents of bullfighting art...
