About the piece
Painted around 1730 by the renowned British sporting artist James Seymour, this work depicts a chestnut racehorse being exercised at a gallop. The rider, dressed in a traditional blue trainer's coat, sits atop a distinctive blue and white horse blanket edged in gold. Seymour's precise handling of the horse's anatomy and the soft, expansive landscape reflecting the light of the English countryside make this a quintessential piece of heritage art.
