About the piece
Painted in 1827 by the renowned British sporting artist John Ferneley, this charming oil on canvas depicts Miss Catherine Herrick accompanied by her five young nieces and nephews. The composition is rich with narrative detail, featuring a dappled horse, a patient donkey, and attentive dogs set against a sprawling English landscape under a soft, clouded sky, exemplifying the refined country life of the Georgian era.
