A fine sporting horse portrait of a bay hackney mare called Craigwell Jewel by Florence Mabel Hollams. The horse is shown standing side profile on with a glimpse of a white marking on her forehead. Hackney horses are a breed of carriage horse shown in harness events and renowned for their high stepping action in trot. Typically possessing a broad chest with a well-shaped head with small ears, they can also have a slightly convex nose, as seen in this fine example. Craigwell Jewell was bred with Harley Allocation to produce Riverside Amethyst, a bay hackney mare foaled in 1948. The breeder at the time was listed as Miss Lilo Lumb who owned other show horses. Although it is not clear if Miss Lumb was the owner at the time, it is likely that the portrait was commissioned by the owner as a celebration of the horse’s successes or perhaps as a commemorative before she was sold on.
Florence Mabel Hollams was a horse portraitist and animal painter born at 24 Westgate Terrace in Kensington, London on 25 December 1876. She is sometimes referred to as Frances. Her father Frederick William Hollams was a barrister from Blackheath, Kent and her mother Mary Owen Lanyon was born in Antrim, Belfast and was the daughter of Sir Charles Lanyon. By 1881, the family were living at Marloes House, Marloes Road, Kensington but later moved to Southside in Wimbledon Common.
Hollams studied under William Frank Calderon (1865-1943) at his school of animal painting which opened in 1895 and also at the Académie Julian in Paris. By around 1896/1897, she had moved with her parents to Dene Park in Tonbridge, Kent, the home of her paternal Grandfather. She made her debut at the Royal Academy in 1897 listing her address as Dene-Park and was one of the first female Academicians. Her works were highly popular and she included amongst her patrons the Earl of Sefton, Lord Cornwallis and Earl Beatty. She became an Associate of the Society of Women’s Artists in 1899 and was elected to the society in 1902.
On 18 July 1903, she married Charles Lionel Fox,a steward and land agent to the Farlawne Estate owned by the Cazalet family, who were well known racehorse owners and trainers. Together the couple had 2 children and lived at Oak Cottage, Claygate near Shipbourne not far from the Farlawne estate. They later moved to nearby Puttenden Manor where Hollams continued to paint under her maiden name. She died in Taunton on 2 March, 1963.
Hollams also produced some flower and figurative works, however, it is for her portraits of horses and dogs that she is best known. Many of her Paintings are held in public collections including the Leicestershire Museum, 1st the Queen’s Dragoon Guards Heritage Trust and the National Trust.
Presentation: The painting is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition.
Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, this work is offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished.
