About the piece
Painted in 1821 by James Pollard, this vibrant oil painting depicts a busy thoroughfare at the Peacock inn, Islington. Numerous horse-drawn mail coaches are shown in various stages of preparation and departure, surrounded by a crowd of figures, including a running boy and a donkey laden with baskets, all set against a row of Georgian buildings. The work is a masterful example of British coaching art, emphasizing movement and historical detail.
