About the Item

This engaging mid-20th-century oil on canvas captures a vibrant pre-race scene featuring a group of jockeys mounted on powerful thoroughbreds, preparing to take to the track. Painted in 1943, the composition is set against a pastoral landscape with distant trees, a cloud-softened sky, and the suggestion of a racetrack bordered by flags and posts. The riders, each in distinctively colored silks, convey a calm yet anticipatory energy as they guide their horses into position. In the foreground, a top-hatted official with a red flag gestures toward the course, adding period atmosphere and narrative intrigue. The artist’s brushwork is detailed yet fluid, with particular attention paid to the musculature of the horses and the naturalistic rendering of the grass and sky. The entire scene exudes the elegance and discipline of classic equestrian sport. The antique painting is signed and dated in the lower right corner, though the signature is difficult to decipher and possibly reads “Tom Evans.” Regardless of attribution, the work reflects the traditions of British and French sporting art with clarity and charm. Housed in an ornate giltwood frame with acanthus detailing, the piece measures 30.5 inches wide by 26.5 inches high. Excellent condition commensurate with age and use. A refined and decorative addition to any collection of equestrian art or vintage sporting scenes.
