About the piece

Painted in 1786 by George Garrard, this classic oil portrait depicts a champion racehorse, possibly 'Disguise', owned by the Duke of Hamilton. The work showcases exquisite detail in the horse's musculature and the jockey's striped silks, set against a moody, cloud-swept English countryside.
