About the piece
Painted in 1831 by John Ferneley, this elegant oil painting depicts a rider in traditional hunting attire seated upon 'Duchess,' a finely rendered dapple-gray horse. The composition captures the classic English sporting tradition, set against a vast, atmospheric landscape that recedes toward a low horizon under a soft, overcast sky.
