The pieces span from a 17th-century landscape through the Victorian and Edwardian periods into the mid-20th century. Most examples date from the 19th century up to the 1960s. This range includes Georgian, Victorian, and mid-century modern British and European schools of painting.

How were these horse paintings created?

Artists used oil paint on woven canvas supports, employing traditional brush techniques to capture light, texture, and equine anatomy. Many are housed in wooden or giltwood frames. The physical make-up typically consists of stretched canvas on a wooden frame, finished with layers of oil pigments.

How do I identify a named racehorse in a painting?

Many portraits record specific historic animals, such as Epsom Derby winners or named hunters, often noted in the title or inscribed on the canvas or frame. Artists frequently documented celebrated horses of their day alongside their jockeys, trainers, or stable settings.

How do I care for a vintage oil on canvas?

Keep the canvas away from direct sunlight, excessive moisture, and rapid temperature changes to protect the oil paint and wood support. Dust the frame gently with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid touching the painted surface directly, and consult a professional conservator if the canvas requires cleaning or structural repair.
