This collection of etchings portrays powerful workhorses rendered in dynamic, expressive lines that radiate energy.
Anton Lock (1893–1971) was a British painter, printmaker, and draughtsman known for his evocative depictions of rural life, particularly scenes featuring working horses. Born in Westminster, London, he studied at the Westminster School of Art from 1910 to 1912 under Walter Sickert, and later specialized in lithography at the Bolt Court School (1912–1914), where he was taught by Walter Bayes.
Lock illustrated several books, often focusing on outdoor and hunting themes, and exhibited widely at prestigious institutions including the Royal Academy, the Royal Watercolour Society, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, and the Paris Salon. He also held solo exhibitions at the Leger Galleries. He lived and worked in London throughout his life. His work is held by public collections, including the British Museum and the British Council.
