The Collection of Charlie Watts.
Charlie Watts, the legendary drummer of The Rolling Stones, was renowned not only for his musical prowess but also for his profound affection for animals, particularly Collies. He and his wife, Shirley, resided at Halsdon Manor in Devon, where they managed a stud farm for Arabian horses. Their estate was also home to numerous dogs, reflecting their deep commitment to animal welfare.
Claude Lorraine Ferneley (1822–1891) was a British equestrian and sporting artist, and the son of the acclaimed Leicestershire painter John Ferneley Sr., one of the leading figures in 19th-century English horse painting. Continuing the family tradition, Claude developed a refined skill in depicting horses, hunts, and rural scenes, often drawing from the vibrant sporting life of the English countryside.
Although he lived somewhat in the shadow of his more famous father, Claude Lorraine Ferneley maintained a solid reputation among country patrons for his ability to portray horses with anatomical accuracy and spirited realism. His paintings often captured the energy of the hunt and the elegance of equestrian portraiture, appealing to a clientele that prized their animals as both companions and status symbols.
His work is noted for its clarity, control, and fidelity to the traditions of British sporting art, and today, Claude Ferneley is recognized as an accomplished artist in his own right, contributing to the enduring legacy of the Ferneley name in English equestrian painting.
