James William Cole
The Arab Stallion 'Kahalet'

About the Item

James William Cole (fl. 1849-1889) The Arabian Stallion 'Kahalet', in a landscape Signed and dated 1893 Oil on canvas Canvas Size - 18 x 24 in Framed Size - 22 1/2 x 28 1/2 in James William Cole was a celebrated British equestrian artist of the Victorian era, renowned for his meticulously detailed and evocative paintings of horses. Active between 1849 and 1889, Cole's work captures the elegance, power, and spirit of equine subjects, reflecting both the grandeur of aristocratic horse ownership and the everyday lives of working animals. His ability to depict horses with anatomical precision and lifelike movement established him as a respected figure in equestrian art. Cole’s compositions often showcased stallions, hunters, and hackneys in poised and noble stances, portraying them not just as animals but as symbols of status, strength, and beauty. His mastery of light, texture, and composition allowed him to create portraits that resonated with collectors and horse enthusiasts alike. Although little is known about his personal life, Cole's artistic legacy is firmly rooted in his contribution to equestrian portraiture. His paintings serve as a historical record of Britain’s deep connection with horses during the 19th century, preserving the grace and grandeur of these magnificent animals for future generations.
