Study for the Horse Dealers, c. 1917 - A Glimpse into the World of Equine Trade
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a study sketch by Robert Polhill Bevan, showcasing his meticulous pencil work on squared paper. Titled "Study for the Horse Dealers" this artwork offers a fascinating insight into the bustling world of horse trading in early 20th-century England. Measuring 29.8x28.6 cm, this piece is housed in the prestigious Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. As an English artist whose works are now out of copyright, Bevan masterfully depicts a scene filled with groomers, vendors, traders, and customers engaged in inspecting and negotiating horse sales at a lively market or fair. The coarse lines and detailed shading bring to life each character involved in these transactions—horse dealers skillfully presenting their animals while potential buyers carefully assess their qualities. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as deals are struck amidst animated conversations and spirited negotiations. Bevan's sketch beautifully captures both the excitement and complexity of this trade—an essential part of rural English life during that era. With its historical significance and artistic merit, this image from Bridgeman Images provides viewers with an intriguing glimpse into an industry that played a vital role in shaping communities across Britain.
