About the piece
Painted in 1843 by the celebrated British sporting artist John Ferneley, this work depicts the 'drag'—a private four-in-hand carriage—belonging to Sir Watkin Williams Wynn. The scene is a masterclass in equine portraiture, showing the horses being prepared with quiet precision against the architectural backdrop of a country estate. The inclusion of a soldier in full dress and faithful dogs adds a narrative layer to this hallmark of English sporting art.
