Frances Mabel Hollams (1877–1963), who signed her works F.M. Hollams, was a popular British painter of horses and dogs, active in the first three decades of the 20th century. She is noted for her technique of painting on wood panel with no background, so that the grain of the wood is visible. Growing up at Dene Park in Shipbourne she later moved to Puttenden Manor near the hamlet of Dunks Green. Mabel studied under the artist Frank Calderdon and, at a time when most schools did not accept female students, she studied in Paris at Académie Julian.

Hollams was a prolific painter of animals, mainly horses. She painted for Royalty and many aristocratic families. One of her paintings, a royal horse, hangs in the Mounted Branch Museum at Imber Court. She was also one of the first female Royal Academicians, exhibiting eight paintings, and in 1899 was elected to the Society of Women Artists.

She was married to Charles Lionel Fox, a land agent who worked for racehorse owners the Cazelet family. She signed her pieces with "F.M. Hollams". Francis Mabel Hollams's work has been offered at auction multiple times, with realized prices ranging up to 18,076 USD, depending on the size and medium of the artwork. Since 1998 the record price for this artist at auction is 18,076 USD for The plough team, sold at Bonhams Knightsbridge in 2012. Ref sources Wikipedia, Christie’s & Mutualart

Equine portraiture gained significant popularity in Britain during the 18th and 19th centuries, often commissioned by landowners and nobility to document prized hunters, racehorses, and family pets.

Traditional works from this period were usually created using oil paints applied to prepared wood panels, hardwood boards, or canvas, frequently housed within period wooden frames.

Authenticity is assessed through examination of the panel material, pigment aging, canvas or board construction, framing techniques, and the presence of artist signatures or period inscriptions.

This type of artwork pairs effectively with traditional wood-panelled walls, neutral plaster finishes, or as a focal point above a mantelpiece to add character and historical depth.

Preservation requires hanging the artwork away from direct sunlight and high humidity, avoiding chemical cleaners on the painted surface, and consulting a professional conservator for cleaning.
