About the piece
Created in 1773, this portrait is attributed to Sir Peter Francis Bourgeois and exemplifies the dignity of Georgian equestrian art. The subject, Noel Desenfans, is masterfully depicted on a bay horse performing a dynamic movement against a brooding, atmospheric sky. A hunting dog pausing at a stream in the foreground completes this scene of refined country life.
