Equestrian and Sporting Oil Painting — Horse and Spaniel in Stable
Signed Clarke | England or Continental Europe, Late 19th Century
This evocative oil painting captures a classic sporting scene: a handsome bay horse standing alert in its stable, approached by a lively spaniel. Rendered in warm, earthy tones, the artist skillfully conveys the muscular form of the horse and the textured coat of the dog.
This piece evokes the camaraderie and loyalty of traditional country life.
The painting is signed “Clarke” at the lower right, though the artist remains unidentified. The composition reflects the influence of 19th-century British and European animal painters.
Housed in a striking, deeply carved giltwood frame with stylized cross-hatching and swag detail, the artwork retains an impressive presence and scale.
The reverse bears a partially legible stamp on the lining canvas from a 19th-century English supplier.
A timeless tribute to equestrian life, perfect for collectors of sporting art or traditional English interiors.
Medium: Oil on canvas
Condition: Very good antique condition. Minor craquelure and age wear to surface; canvas relined. Frame is solid with wear to gilding consistent with age.
Dimensions (framed): Approx. 31.5” x 24.5”
