John Frederick Herring, Jr. sometimes signed his works as J. F. Herring Jr. or J. F. Herring Fraser. The "Fraser" in his signature being his mother's maiden name, as his mother was Mary Ann Fraser.

John Frederick Herring Jr. (1820–1907) was an English painter known for his equestrian and sporting scenes, much like his father, John Frederick Herring Sr. Herring Jr. followed in his father's footsteps and became a successful artist in his own right. Born in Doncaster, England, in 1820, John Frederick Herring Jr. was the son of the renowned artist John Frederick Herring Sr. He was brought up in a family with a strong artistic tradition, and from an early age, he showed talent and interest in painting. Herring Jr. received artistic training from his father, who was a prominent painter of equestrian and animal subjects. He adopted a similar style to his father, specialising in sporting and hunting scenes, as well as landscapes with horses and other animals. His works often depicted lively action and detailed depictions of horses and their riders. Like his father, Herring Jr. achieved considerable success as an artist during his lifetime. He exhibited his works at prestigious venues such as the Royal Academy in London and the British Institution. His paintings were well-received by both critics and patrons, and he garnered a reputation for his skilful portrayal of horses and sporting scenes. Herring Jr. sometimes signed his works as J. F. Herring Jr. or J. F. Herring Fraser. The addition of "Fraser" to his signature is believed to have been a reference to his mother's maiden name. John Frederick Herring Jr.'s works continue to be admired by art enthusiasts and collectors today. His paintings are sought after for their vibrant compositions, technical proficiency, and depiction of equestrian and sporting subjects. John Frederick Herring Jr. made a significant contribution to the tradition of British sporting art, following in the footsteps of his father while also establishing his own distinctive style and reputation as an artist.
