Large British Antique Oil Painting of Two Horses by Walker
English, Late 19th Century
Canvas: Height 54cm, width 87cm
Frame: Height 71cm, width 107cm, depth 8cm
This tranquil scene by British artist Joseph Francis Walker (1831–1906) showcases his renowned talent for equine painting. Though best known for dynamic depictions of 19th-century horse sport, Walker also excelled in more reflective rural subjects.
In this painting a grey mare stands in profile beside her foal in an open field. The mare’s coat is rendered with lifelike softness, demonstrating Walker’s deep understanding of equine anatomy. The foal’s gentle gaze draws the viewer towards a distant farmhouse, nestled in trees and hedgerows.
The painting is signed in the lower right ‘J.F. Walker’ and is housed in a giltwood frame.
The composition is quietly balanced, blending accurate animal study with a serene landscape. Walker’s attention to detail and atmosphere captures the quiet charm of the countryside, infusing realism with warmth and familiarity.

Pair of 19th Century British Equestrian Oil Paintings
Located in London, GB
Pair of 19th century British equestrian oil paintings
British, 19th Century
Boards: Height 25cm, width 32cm
Frames: Height 35cm, width 42cm, depth 4cm
This attractive pair of 19th-century oil paintings beautifully captures the elegance and charm of Victorian sporting art. Rendered with fine detail and vibrant hues, the paintings are enhanced by their original wooden frames and equal dimensions, making them ideal for display as a complementary set.
Each artwork features a 19th-century racehorse alongside its jockey, portrayed with striking use of colour and a keen eye for character. In the first composition, a chestnut horse is shown being led across an open landscape by a gentleman in stylish rural dress, likely the owner. The jockey, seated confidently atop the animal, wears vivid blue silks. The lower right corner bears a faint signature, and the reverse of the canvas includes indistinct handwritten text, presumably of the horse’s name.
The second painting shows another similarly hued racehorse, this time in profile, with its jockey dressed in bold yellow silks and a burgundy riding cap. The back of this canvas is clearly marked with the name ‘Red Robin’.
Rich in colour and full of period charm, this matched pair of antique equestrian paintings would appeal to collectors of horse racing...

'Spaniel and Sleeping Cat' , Unknown, Oil on Canvas Painting, 19th c.
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
This classic English school 12 x 16 in. Oil on Canvas framed painting features a pet Spaniel and cat resting on a desk in a home study environment. The dog is seated, its body facing the right side of the painting while its head is facing the viewer at the picture plane. The Spaniel has a long haired black and white patterned coat. Its long ears are black and curly and face is mostly black with an area of white fur on its head and a strip of the white down the nose and into the chin. The stomach and legs/paws are mainly white, while his back and tail are both black, although its full body is not visible. The domestic cat is depicted sleeping to the right of the dog, both positioned on a green desk. The cat is sleeping horizontally with the composition, its head on the left and its curled up body and tail on the right. The cat has mainly grey fur with patches of white on its nose, neck and the one leg and one paw that is visible to the viewer.
The edge of the green desk, closest to the picture plane, meets with the bottom edge of the work and the left edge of the green table is only partially visible as the further half is cut off by the left side of the canvas. The desk is an olive green color and takes up the foreground of the piece. On the desk next to the cat is just a small corner of a singular document that reads "Young America" and then below that a couple of flourishes/ ornamental lines and the date, "1872." Behind the document, on the desk, are five standing books and two stacked books. The books appear to be up against the back wall that is depicted in the work, next to a hung landscape painting. The largest standing book's title is "Natural History," a greenish/blue hardback book with a maroon red strip where the title and author's name is on the book's spine. A smaller book standing on the right of "Natural History" is a copy of "Robinson Crusoe," a darker green hardback with a strip of silver for title and author upon the spine. To the left of "Natural History" is an untitled book and to the left is a copy of "Arabian Nights," a tan hardback with red/orange at the title and author's name. To the left of "Arabian Nights" is another untitled book. The two books laid on the desk, on the right side of the standing books, are both tan/light brown books...
