    This charming mid-19th-century English school oil painting depicts a bay horse in a stable.

    The British aristocracy has always had a passion for equestrian activities, and during the 1860s, when this piece was produced, no country home was complete without a portrait of a beloved equine. Horses were significant members of the family, trusted, loyal, and characterful. As such, numerous painters, both established and provincial, were commissioned to produce portraits of this nature.

    The modelling suggests that the artist was influenced by the works of John Frederick Herring, Sr. (1795-1865). Stylistically, it’s of good stock.

    Housed in a later frame.

    Medium: Oil on canvas
    Overall size: 39” x 30” / 99cm x 76cm
