About the Item

A dynamic pair of steeplechase paintings capturing the intensity, risk, and rhythm of cross-country equestrian sport. Likely originating from the British school in the late 19th or early 20th century, these oil-on-board works depict two vivid race moments: one a dramatic fall at a water jump, the other a clean forward surge of riders in full gallop. The subject matter, format, and treatment of both horse and landscape align closely with British sporting art traditions, long celebrated for their narrative realism and atmospheric countryside scenes. The palette is subdued and naturalistic, with earthy greens and umber tones framing the vibrant jockey silks. Loose yet intentional brushwork delivers energy and movement without sacrificing detail. The paintings are housed in later ebonized and gilt frames, likely American and added in the mid-to-late 20th century for resale or stabilization. Rich in character, this pair offers collectors or decorators a sense of period drama and sporting elegance—ideal for a library, study, or equestrian-themed interior where dynamic storytelling and historical flair are welcome.

Located in London, GB
Pair of 19th century British equestrian oil paintings British, 19th Century Boards: Height 25cm, width 32cm Frames: Height 35cm, width 42cm, depth 4cm This attractive pair of 19th-century oil paintings beautifully captures the elegance and charm of Victorian sporting art. Rendered with fine detail and vibrant hues, the paintings are enhanced by their original wooden frames and equal dimensions, making them ideal for display as a complementary set. Each artwork features a 19th-century racehorse alongside its jockey, portrayed with striking use of colour and a keen eye for character. In the first composition, a chestnut horse is shown being led across an open landscape by a gentleman in stylish rural dress, likely the owner. The jockey, seated confidently atop the animal, wears vivid blue silks. The lower right corner bears a faint signature, and the reverse of the canvas includes indistinct handwritten text, presumably of the horse’s name. The second painting shows another similarly hued racehorse, this time in profile, with its jockey dressed in bold yellow silks and a burgundy riding cap. The back of this canvas is clearly marked with the name ‘Red Robin’. Rich in colour and full of period charm, this matched pair of antique equestrian paintings would appeal to collectors of horse racing...
