About the piece

Painted around 1795 by renowned British animal painter Sawrey Gilpin, this oil on canvas captures a tender moment between horses in a rural landscape. The composition balances the protective presence of the mares with the playful and resting stances of the foals, set against a beautifully rendered, atmospheric sky characteristic of the era.
