About the Item

Early 20th century watercolour and gouache of a horse and trap. Signed to the bottom left but artist unknown. This dynamic artwork showcases a striking horse pulling a two-wheeled carriage, commanded by two figures. The composition is rendered with fluid lines and a delicate palette, blending shades of blue and earthy tones, which convey a sense of motion and vitality. The horse, captured mid-stride, exudes power and elegance, while its mane flows with energy. The figures aboard the carriage are sketched with minimal detail, emphasizing the horse as the central focus. The use of watercolor adds a dreamlike quality, with soft washes suggesting movement and the passage of air. The framed piece balances rough sketching with precise touches, illustrating the harmonious collaboration between human and animal. This artwork uniquely captures the timeless and exhilarating experience of carriage driving through its composition and color, immersing the viewer in a world where movement and grace are seamlessly intertwined.

Early 20thC Watercolor and Gouache. 'Gentlemen at the Races, Point to Pointing'.
By Sir Alfred James Munnings
Located in Cotignac, FR
Early 20th century watercolour of a gentleman on horseback with other riders in the background apparently signed or titled 'Count A de Monthaus'. Signed or titled bottom left. Presented in fine period gilt frame under glass. The artist has captured a moment of pause, the gentlemen rider in his fine clothes and bowler hat regarding his surroundings as his fellow riders continue the chase behind him, possibly a 'point to point'. Monthaus has captured the stance of the standing horse as well as the movement of the other horses. He has used white to give light and definition to the costume of the rider and the background. A lovely atmospheric and dynamic watercolour very much of its period and in the spirit of equine portraiture made famous by the likes of Sir Alfred Munnings. Sir Alfred James Munnings, KCVO PRA RI (8 October 1878 – 17 July 1959) was known as one of England's finest painters of horses, and as an outspoken critic of Modernism. Engaged by Lord Beaverbrook's Canadian War...
