Shire Horses with Cart
Figures outside Farmhouse in the Cotswolds of England by 20th Century British Artist.
Art measures 32 x 22 inches
This atmospheric rural scene captures an idyllic moment in the Cotswolds, rendered with a tenderness that celebrates the quiet poetry of English village life. The composition unfolds in warm afternoon light, drifting across honey-coloured stone cottages and rippling softly over the water’s reflective surface. Every architectural detail is lovingly observed: slate roofs, clustered chimneys, mullioned windows and climbing foliage create a sense of timeless heritage.
At the centre of the work, a pair of magnificent Shire horses stands poised beside a traditional red cart laden with milk churns. Their strength and stature anchor the scene, while the gentle interactions between villagers add a human warmth. A woman pauses in her doorway, another stands in conversation, and two dogs trot contentedly nearby, creating a lived-in, homely narrative.
The landscape is painted with harmonious balance. Sunlight filters through mature trees, casting shifting shadows across the foreground path, while the still water captures a mirror image of the cottages, adding depth and serenity. The brushwork is meticulous yet soft enough to evoke the mellow atmosphere of a summer’s day in the English countryside.
This painting exemplifies the charm and craftsmanship associated with 20th century British rural realism. Its scale and detail make it an impressive statement piece, while its gentle storytelling invites immersion in a world of tradition, tranquillity, and pastoral beauty.
Ronald Moseley was a British artist born in 1931, known for his traditional oil paintings of rural English life, hunting scenes, and landscapes, especially those of the Lake District and the Cotswolds. He was born in Marple, Cheshire, and studied at the Manchester School of Art before completing his National Service.
Moseley spent several years painting abroad, living in both Canada and South Africa. In Canada he worked in areas around the Rockies, and in South Africa he was commissioned by the World Wildlife Foundation to create paintings of local wildlife, communities, and views of Table Mountain.
After returning to England, he settled in the North and concentrated on subjects that reflected the countryside and rural traditions, including village scenes, wildlife, horses, and hunting imagery. His style remained firmly rooted in traditional oil painting, with a focus on horses, carts, farms, and classic English landscapes.
Among his notable works are Lower Slaughter, Cotswolds, Hunt in Full Cry, and Mill Beck Farm and Langdale Pikes.
