James Clark
James Clark was born in the North of England and initially trained as an architect. However, it was painting that captured his imagination, and he won a scholarship to the National Art Training School in London. Clark finished his studies at L’Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, which accounts for the impressionistic way he handles his paint, confidently working with a thick impasto. On his return from Paris, Clark settled in London, where he became a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy. Specializing in larger-scale works, Clark was commissioned several times to paint large scale works for Church interiors. Today, Clark is best known for his work, The Great Sacrifice, which he painted at the outbreak of the First World War, the painting was later renamed Duty and was purchased by King George V. Today, 24 of his works are in the National Collection of the United Kingdom.

Bay race horse in a stable, William Osborne RHA, Irish Artist, 1823 - 1901
By William Osborne
Located in London, GB
This painting by William Osborne, an Irish artist from the 19th century, features a bay racehorse in a stable, captured in rich oil on canvas. The scene evokes a sense of realism and attention to detail, as Osborne was known for his vivid depictions of horses, particularly those involved in racing or in stables.

Christie's London, Sporting Art & Dogs, 14th July 2001, Lot 183, sold for £5,288;
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.
