Antique English equestrian themed oil on canvas depicting the celebrated racehorse Queen of Trumps with jockey Lye in yellow silks. Signed by the artist at lower left. Presented in a gilt frame with a titled plaque. The reverse bears an aged handwritten inscription detailing the horse's lineage, breeder, trainer, and racing accomplishments. According to the inscription, "Foaled in 1832, bred by Lord Stamford and trained by John Scott, Queen of Trumps won the Champagne Stakes (1834), the Oaks, and the St. Leger Stakes (1835)."
Condition: Good overall antique condition, exhibiting typical surface wear, toning, and craquelure throughout consistent with age. Frame shows storage wear and areas of loss.
Queen of Trumps (1832–1843) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare best known for winning the classic Oaks and St Leger Stakes in 1835, becoming the first horse to win both races. In a racing career that lasted from October 1834 until October 1836 she won ten of her eleven races. After being successful in her only race as a two-year-old, she defeated the 1000 Guineas winner Preserve in the Oaks on her three-year-old debut. Later that year she started as favourite for the St Leger, and won from a field that included Preserve and The Derby winner Mundig. Queen of Trumps sustained her only defeat a few days later when she was attacked by a dog in the closing stages of the Scarborough Stakes. She was retired to stud after winning all four of her races in 1836, and died in 1843 at the age of eleven. She was described by a contemporary writer as "certainly the most extraordinary mare these our days have seen".
