ABOUT HENRY BARRAUD b1811 - London-

( Artist Signed H.Barraud Lower Right Corner )

Born into an unusually talented family whose accomplishments included medicine, horology, photography and painting, Henry Barraud distinguished himself as a portraitist and a sporting artist.

He excelled in painting equestrian portraits and more general scenes, peopled with identifiable figures and numerous horses and hounds.

Henry was the younger brother of William (1810-1850), who was also an important sporting artist.

He studied with JJ Middleton, a portrait painter, who influenced the figurative aspect of his work.

The Barraud brothers shared a studio from 1835 until William’s death in 1850 and collaborated on many paintings. They also produced a book entitled Sketches of Figures and Animals published by H. Graves and Co. circa 1850.

Henry exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy from 1833 to 1859 and at the British Institution from 1831 to 1864.

This 19th-century oil painting on canvas depicts a stable interior scene within a Victorian sporting style, executed by artist Henry Barraud. The composition portrays a warm brown bay hunter horse alongside a hound and a terrier, enclosed by a heavy, ornate carved gilt swept frame with scroll mouldings on the corners and edges. Additional visible details include a stone wall backdrop, a window ledge, and a dark metallic drinking bucket on the floor. The artwork measures 85 cm high, 104 cm wide, and 6 cm deep. Positioned in an English country house setting, the piece suits placement above the mantel in a traditional living room or study. The materials comprise oil, canvas, wood, gesso, and gold leaf, showing signs of a past reline and minor repairs to the original frame. Christie's black inked stencil markings and a gallery label appear verso, alongside the artist signature in the lower right corner.

FAQs

British equine portraiture from the 19th century typically depicts thoroughbreds, hunters, or prize livestock in naturalistic stable or rural landscape settings, focusing on realistic anatomy and coat lustre.

Paintings were executed in oil pigments on stretched linen or cotton canvas, often housed in wooden frames featuring applied gesso mouldings and gold leaf gilding.

Authentic period oil paintings exhibit age-appropriate craquelure patterns, natural canvas discolouration or oxidisation on the reverse, hand-carved stretchers, and traditional gesso frame construction.

Equestrian oil paintings can be displayed above a chimney breast or sideboard to create a focal point, integrated into an eclectic gallery wall, or paired with dark wood panelling in a study.

Dust the frame and canvas surface gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or chemical solvents, and keep the artwork away from direct sunlight, humidity, and heat sources.
