About the piece

This refined oil painting by Francis Sartorius, dated around 1800, depicts the racehorses of Sir Charles Warre Malet during their daily exercise. Set against an expansive English landscape of rolling hills and distant woods, the work exemplifies the elegance and tradition of British sporting art at the turn of the 19th century.
