A pair of mid-century equine studies from 1960 depicting the horses Chesapeake and Mermaid in pastel on paper. Both pictures portray horses in profile standing within green pastoral landscapes with distant trees and fences, set beneath pale skies, with hand-lettered horse names inscribed in the lower corners. The artworks are housed in simple gilt frames with gold borders, mounted one above the other on a vertical wooden stand with a visible central brass adjustment knob. Each framed piece measures 56 cm high, 76 cm wide, and 2 cm deep. These large wall art pieces suit equestrian enthusiasts and bring an English country house design style to domestic interiors. They are well-suited for hanging above a sideboard, in a hallway, or in a living room as a matched pair.

FAQs

An equestrian study is a figurative artwork depicting horses, historically executed to record animal conformation, celebrate thoroughbred lineage, or capture sporting subjects.

Pastel artwork utilizes powdered colour pigments bound with gum or resin, applied directly onto paper, card, or canvas backing to create velvety visual textures.

Authentic period pastels display characteristic age-related foxing on the paper, period glass with light distortions, hand-lettered subject inscriptions, and original backing materials.

Display the framed pair stacked vertically or side-by-side above a sideboard, mantelpiece, or along a hallway to introduce traditional English country character to contemporary spaces.

Keep pastel drawings framed behind UV-filtering glass with sufficient mount spacing to prevent the powder pigment from directly touching the glazing.
