A dynamic illustration of a horse and cart race, the moment before the horse turn a sharp corner. This subject matter is an unusual departure from Mike Western's normal content (he was a British comic artist) but Wester has been known to paint rural scenes and interiors that document life in the countryside. The artist has signed to the lower right corner.
The painting is presented in a glazed white frame with a gilt inner window and an off-white card mount.
On wove.The painting and frame are in fine condition.

Mike Western (b. Southampton, 4 February 1925; d. 13 May 2008) was a British comics artist. He worked as a clean-up artist for GB Animation after military service in the Second World War, and later at Halas and Batchelor on their 1954 film adaptation of Animal Farm. In the early 1950s he joined fellow former GB Animation artists Ron "Nobby" Clark and Eric Bradbury at Amalgamated Press, drawing adventure strips for Knock-Out, including the western "Lucky Logan" and the aviation series "Johnnie Wingco".
