About the Item

An exquisitely detailed equestrian painting by British artist Henry William Standing (1841-1931), executed in watercolor and gouache on paper and dated 1902. The work captures a dynamic and elegant scene of a well-appointed English couple being driven at speed by a groom in a traditional horse-drawn carriage. The paired grey horses, outfitted in full tack, are depicted mid-stride in a moment of energetic precision, their movement accentuated by the artist's sharp linework and delicate use of color. Standing's mastery of equine anatomy and form portraiture is evident in the lifelike depiction of the horses and the period-accurate costumes of the figures. His works are celebrated for their charm, meticulous detail, and ability to encapsulate the spirit of Edwardian leisure and refinement. Signed and dated in the lower left corner. Presented under glass in a double-matted, giltwood frame. This is a fine collector's piece for lovers of equine art, Edwardian sporting scenes, and traditional British watercolors!
