Signed and inscribed Melton Mowbray in the bottom right corner by the known famous listed artist Claude Lorraine Ferneley
Claude Lorraine Ferneley 1822-1891 was a member of the renowned family of painters which included his father, the significant sporting artist John E Ferneley, and he was the brother of John Jnr. C.N.Ferneley and Sarah. All three children were born in Melton Mowbray, Claude remaining there for his entire life and he was given his name in recognition of his godfather Claude Lorraine Smith who was a patron to sporting artists and squire of Enderby.
His father gave him instruction in painting and his influence is clearly discernible ...in his son’s work. Claude assisted his father on some paintings on occasion, perhaps more than did his siblings, but this was mainly restricted to working up the backgrounds and John Ferneley issued invoices commensurate with this practice, charging less for the work that his son had undertaken. Because he was so adept at painting in his father’s style, at times he was commissioned to do copies of John’s works, particularly following the latter’s death.
Claude was a most accomplished artist in his own right however and at his best was close to achieving the heights attained by his eminent father.He only exhibited one painting, of horses, which was at the Royal Academy in 1868 but other examples of paintings by him include: “A Meet of the Quorn at Kirby Gate”, “Mr S J Wellfit on his horse Barbarian”, “Whitebait”, “A Shooting Party in a Wood”, “A saddled bay Hunter in a Loosebox” and “Two Huntsman in a Landscape, the last three among the six in the collection of Leicester Museum and Art Gallery.
The British Museum also has a sketchbook in its collection that belonged to him.Father and son were also responsible for the building of the new organ in Melton Church and the honour of being the first to play it went to Claude. When he died he was laid to rest near the grave of his father at Thrussington a few miles west of Melton Mowbray, where his father had been born in 1782.
Since 1998 the record price for this artist at auction is $21,334 USD for a chestnut hunter with roan pony and dog before a stable, sold at Christie’s London in 2007.
