About the piece

Painted around 1820 by Martin Ward, this masterfully rendered study highlights the noble profile of a grey Arabian horse. The artist captures the delicate musculature and luminous texture of the horse's coat against a rich, grounding umber background, characteristic of the British school of animal painting during the Romantic era.
