About the Item
Horse and Sulky reminiscent of Currier and Ives by George Christopher Horner (1821-1881), British artist, imported by Saltire Gallerie. Signed and dated 1846, the painting is titled Sulky on the Road, 17 miles from Liverpool. Bridle and harness gleam with details in silver against the black leather. The horse is trotting along, with the driver in the sulky looking ahead. Lovely landscape background with hills, sky and green scenery along the road.
The horse has good detail, and is the central figure of the work.
The painting in the frame is 21.5" high and 25" wide. The frame is about 3" wide and 2" deep, including a linen inset.
This is an oil painting on canvas from the Victorian period, in overall very good condition consistent with the age. There is minor and stable craquelure in the sky above the horse, and some wear on the frame. Ready to hang!

- English early 19th century painting of a chestnut hunter in a landscapeBy John Ferneley SeniorLocated in Bath, SomersetA painting of a chestnut hunter in a landscape with a horse and rider accompanied by two hounds by a woodland river in the distance. Signed and inscribed 'Melton Mowbray', lower left. Oil on canvas in a giltwood frame. John Ferneley Sr (1782-1860) was born the son of a Leicestershire wheelwright, the youngest of six children. He is known as one of the great British equine artists, perhaps only second to Stubbs in terms of raw ability. Ferneley originally worked with his father, until by chance the Duke of Rutland saw some of his work on the side of a cart on which Ferneley and his father had been working. The Duke was so impressed with Ferneley that he persuaded John's father to allow him to become the pupil of Benjamin Marshall. Ferneley was so talented that apparently he produced almost perfect copies of his tutor's paintings and they were said to have been indistinguishable from the master’s. Marshall also enrolled him as a student of the Royal Academy Schools. In 1804 Ferneley paid a man named Thomas Harrison...Category
