English School, late 19th century – “In the Stableyard”
Oil on canvas, signed lower right.
This evocative pastoral work portrays a tranquil stable bathed in afternoon light, where a white horse and a chestnut companion stand among feeding hens and scattered farm implements. The artist’s use of light, texture, and shadow recalls the rustic realism favored in the Victorian period, blending sentiment and precision in equal measure.
Mounted in its original elaborate gilt frame with floral spandrels and decorative corners, the painting remains in good antique condition with expected craquelure consistent with age. The reverse bears an old continental inventory mark (“KH 192 KK”) and a stamped stretcher number, further attesting to its 19th-century origin.
A beautiful addition to any collection of English or Continental rural scenes, appealing to lovers of equestrian art and country life alike.
Origin: England, circa 1880–1900
Medium: Oil on canvas
