A charming Victorian equestrian painting depicting a chestnut and a bay horse standing face to face in an open field. Their quiet interaction forms the focus of the composition, set against a gently receding landscape beneath an expansive, softly coloured sky.
Signed and dated 1887 by this leading Victorian sporting artist, the painting reflects the enduring appeal of equestrian subjects in nineteenth-century British art. Presented in an ornate antique gilt frame, it would make an attractive addition to an English country house interior, particularly a drawing room, study or entrance hall.
A characterful work for collectors of antique horse paintings...
