Hailed as the 'Derby' of the coursing world, the Waterloo Cup was established in 1836, as the result of a meeting at Sefton Altcar, a village near Liverpool. Named after the rendezvous point of the Waterloo Hotel, it became the most famous of all British coursing events, making the winning greyhounds landmarks in the history of the breed.

Michael Lyne was born in Upton Bishop in Herefordshire and studied at the Cheltenham School of Art. A painter of mainly sporting, equestrian, subjects and hunting scenes in both oil and watercolours. He illustrated many books and also wrote and illustrated Horses, Hounds and Country (1938). Michael Lyne exhibited in London but lived for much of his life in Cheltenham.

This British sporting oil painting from 1960 captures a scene from the Waterloo Cup, depicting greyhounds in motion across a field alongside a mounted rider and a spectator group by a drainage dyke landscape. Rendered in oil paint on canvas, the composition displays a muted green palette with earthy tones under a pale cloudy sky, bearing the signature of artist Michael Lyne. The artwork is set within a framed format measuring 69 cm high, 94 cm wide, and 8 cm deep, with a cleaned finish. It suits placement above the mantel in an English country house interior, bringing traditional equestrian subject matter to a living room or study.

FAQs

British sporting art from this period typically focuses on equestrian pursuits, field sports, and working dogs, capturing movement and rural landscapes with detailed accuracy.

Traditional sporting paintings are created using oil paints applied to stretched linen canvas or wooden panels, often framed in gilded or timber mouldings.

Authenticity is verified through artist signatures, characteristic brushwork techniques, period-correct canvas preparation, and age-appropriate varnish condition.

Sporting paintings add character to contemporary spaces when hung above a mantelpiece, positioned in a dark-panelled study, or styled alongside natural wood and leather furniture.

Keep oil paintings away from direct sunlight, extreme temperature fluctuations, and high humidity, dusting gently with a soft dry brush rather than applying liquid cleaners.
