About the piece

Painted in 1797 by Johann Georg Pforr, this work captures the poise and elegance of the English horse. The composition follows a rider guiding a bay and a grey horse across a rolling countryside, while a small spotted dog pauses at a stream in the foreground. Pforr's naturalist approach is evident in the careful anatomical detail of the animals set against an atmospheric, golden-toned sky.
