About the piece
This 1715 oil painting by John Wootton depicts 'Bonny Black,' a celebrated mare belonging to the Duke of Rutland. The scene captures the horse in her prime, led by a groom in vibrant livery, with distant figures suggesting the atmosphere of an early British race meet or hunt gathering.
