About the Item
This signed painting by Michael Grimsdale captures the energy and elegance of the sport in a bold and dynamic style, emphasizing the action of the polo match, with players galloping on horseback at full speed, their movements fluid and powerful. The horses, full of vitality and muscle, contrast against the sky bathed in soft sunlight. The result is a painting that blends both the sport's high-class elegance and raw athleticism, encapsulating a moment of passion and intensity in the world of polo.
