Samuel Spode - Framed Mid 19th Century Oil Horse & Foal
Description
A fine oil study by the notable equestrian artist Samuel Spode (1798-1858). The scene depicts a dark chestnut mare standing protectively beside her foal in an open countryside landscape. The composition places the horses prominently in the foreground, highlighting the artist's attention to equine anatomy and the tender relationship between the two animals. Well presented in a gilt-effect frame. Signed lower left. On canvas.Condition
Signs of wear consistent with age. Minor surface marks and abrasions in the upper third of the composition. Light surface discolouration throughout, including yellowing to the varnish layer. Inspection under UV light reveals areas of previous overpainting to the background and body of the foal. The canvas has been previously relined. The frame has minor surface wear and scuffs. Overall, the artwork is in very good condition for its age.
