Heywood Hardy Art

British, 1842-1933

Heywood Hardy was born in Chichester, Sussex, the youngest of 10 children of the artist James Hardy senior (1801–1879) and his wife Elizabeth. His first two paintings, landscapes, were accepted for exhibition at The Royal Academy in 1864. In the same year he was appointed an Ensign in the 7th Somersetshire Rifle Volunteer Corps, a part-time position. Later that year he left Keynsham to study at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris where his principal teacher was Isidore Pils. Hardy spent much of his spare time copying paintings in the Louvre. Hardy visited Egypt in 1873 to paint wildlife. In London he studied the comparative anatomy of animals and birds with Professor Alfred Henry Garrod. Heywood Hardy was a founder member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, a founder member of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers, a member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and an Associate of the Royal Watercolour Society.

English 19th century English Farm with shire Clydesdale horses in a landscape

By John Frederick Herring Sr.

Located in Woodbury, CT

English School Farmyard Scene with Horses and Goat Oil on panel, unsigned The Circle of John Frederick Herring Sr. Circa 1880 Presented in a later gilt and painted frame This finely rendered 19th-century English farmyard scene captures the quiet dignity of rural life, with a group of three horses—white, chestnut, and black—gathered beneath a tree in the warm light of late afternoon. A small goat stands to one side near a rustic stable, adding a note of charming domesticity to the composition. The surrounding landscape, with its distant hills and careful play of shadow and cloud, speaks to the artist’s sensitivity to atmosphere and detail. Though unsigned, the painting is executed in a manner closely aligned with the work of John Frederick Herring Senior, one of Britain’s most celebrated animal painters of the Victorian era. The careful modelling of the horses, their distinctive postures and anatomy, and the tranquil farm setting are all hallmarks of Herring’s influence. Painted in oils on a wooden panel, the surface retains a fine, even gloss and a warm palette typical of the period. The composition is both balanced and lyrical: the interplay of form and gesture among the animals invites the viewer into a moment of repose between work and activity, emblematic of Victorian ideals of harmony between man, beast, and the land. A delightful example of 19th-century English rural painting...

The Farrier’s Visit, in a farmyard landscape early 20th century

Located in Woodbury, CT

Francis Mabel Hollams (1877–1963) The Farrier’s Visit, circa 1925 Oil on canvas, monogrammed lower right. Presented in its original gilt frame. Francis Mabel Hollams was one of Britain’s most accomplished painters of horses and domestic animals during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A gifted sporting artist, she studied under the distinguished equestrian painter Lucy Kemp-Welch and went on to establish a successful career exhibiting at London’s foremost institutions, including the Royal Academy, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, the Royal Society of British Artists and the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. Her paintings are celebrated for their exceptional draughtsmanship, sensitive observation and genuine understanding of animal character, qualities that have secured her place among the finest female sporting artists of her generation. The Farrier’s Visit beautifully encapsulates the quiet rhythms of rural England during the years when the working horse remained indispensable to everyday agricultural life. Hollams depicts a magnificent grey Shire horse standing patiently outside a traditional brick stable as the village farrier carefully replaces one of its shoes. The scene is entirely unforced and deeply authentic, celebrating the mutual trust between horse and craftsman, a relationship forged through generations of skilled husbandry. The monumental presence of the Shire horse dominates the composition, yet Hollams avoids sentimentality, instead conveying its immense strength through calm composure and gentle dignity. Every detail, from the worn leather harness to the weathered stable doors and simple blacksmith’s tools...
