About the piece
This refined oil painting, attributed to James Seymour and dating to circa 1730, captures a chestnut horse held by a groom. The horse is depicted with a distinctive blue saddle cloth edged in gold, standing against a soft, atmospheric sky and distant hills—a composition characteristic of early British sporting art.
