About the Item
This late 19th century horse portrait has the kind of offhand elegance that makes British sporting art so quietly addictive. The composition is disarmingly simple: a lone bay set against a luminous, almost atmospheric ground that feels more like morning mist than backdrop. Nothing competes with the subject — no stableyard, no landscape — just this beautifully spare field of light and a whisper of a shadow, giving the whole painting a modern, nearly abstract calm. The brushwork is confident but unfussy, with warm, generous sweeps across the midtones that bring a soft radiance to the surface. Even the frame, a straightforward gilt moulding, underscores the restraint. And then there’s one irresistible decorative detail: a tiny horseshoe enclosing looping initials in the lower corner, a signature with personality, winking at its own provenance. The result is a painting that transcends genre — not merely a horse portrait, but a wonderfully atmospheric object, full of presence and quiet style.

Early 20th Century Southern American Folk Art Painting
Located in Chicago, IL
A captivating and intriguing early 20th century Southern American folk art panel, found in Mississippi, depicting a figure with what appears to be African tribal headgear, and wearing a white collared shirt with black suit jacket. The line work and attention to detail is extraordinary and mysterious, with the artist choosing to incorporate a natural knot in the board to form the mouth of the figure, and the left half of the drawing showing shading, but seemingly left unfinished. The frame is not terribly old, and is constructed from splatter-painted boards...
