About the Item
John Charles Tunnard (British, 1873–1960)
Portrait of a Chestnut Racehorse in Stable signed and dated 1895
Oil on canvas, signed and dated lower left.
Unframed size: 47 cm x 63 cm (18.5 in x 24.8 in)
A larger than usual, finely observed equestrian portrait by John Charles Tunnard, depicting a chestnut filly standing poised in a stable interior. The artist captures with precision the sleek musculature and conformation of the racehorse, highlighting both its strength and elegance. The subdued stable setting with scattered straw provides a sympathetic backdrop, allowing the rich chestnut tones of the filly’s coat to dominate the composition.
Tunnard, active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is known for his sensitive equestrian portraits, continuing the British sporting art tradition. This early work, dated 1895, demonstrates his skill in both anatomical accuracy and painterly detail.
Presented in an ornate gilt frame, this painting exudes classic country house appeal, making it an ideal decorative focal point for a traditional interior. Its timeless sporting subject matter, combined with its elegant composition, ensures it complements both period settings and refined contemporary spaces.
Condition: Very good for age with minor wear and paint cracking consistent with time. Some minor repairs and light retouching. In its original frame.
