About the Item

John Frederick Herring Junior, Antique 19th century English, Cart Horses in a farmyard landscape with cottage. John Frederick Herring Jnr. was a painter of sporting and animal subjects in oil and watercolor. His style was very similar to that of his father, John Frederick Herring Snr. Herring Jnr. painted many horse portraits in exquisite detail. In addition, he painted numerous charming small-scale studies of cows, rabbits, pigs, goats, birds, and other animals. He is renowned for his finely detailed farmyard scenes. He had a preference for smaller canvases enabling greater output. Occasionally and often for the purpose of exhibiting at the major academies, he would turn to the larger canvas. Although more time-consuming, they brought greater recognition and with it more lucrative commissions. Herring exhibited at the Royal Academy, British Institution, and Suffolk Street where he exhibited some fifty-three works This is an excellent example of the artist's work. Possibly painted with his father his later works became stiff and less of quality. The painting has been reframed and cleaned in the UK. The frame is a new hand-made English 19th-century style frame.
