About the piece

Painted around 1720 by John Wootton, this masterful oil portrait captures a gentleman in formal riding attire. The vibrant scarlet of his coat provides a bold contrast to the earthy tones of the horse and the moody, clouded sky, exemplifying the elegance and prestige of British equestrian art.
