John Emms first exhibited in the Royal Academy in 1866. Known for his equestrian and canine portraits, his most interesting works were the dogs, with a particular fondness for foxhounds and terriers. Using bold, loose brushwork and ample paint, Emms created portraits that were sentimental and that expressed vitality.

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...
