About the piece
Painted around 1754 by Richard Roper, this oil on canvas depicts the thoroughbred Aaron winning the second heat against Driver at Maidenhead. The composition features the jockeys in mid-gallop against a soft English landscape, complete with an original descriptive inscription at the bottom identifying the riders and the outcome, a hallmark of 18th-century sporting art.
