EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the elegance and skill of a gentleman on a bay horse in a riding school. Painted by Thomas Parkinson in 1766, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 40.6x49.5 cm and is now part of a private collection owned by The British Sporting Art Trust. The image transports us to an era where horsemanship was revered as an art form. The rider exudes confidence as he guides his majestic mount through intricate movements with precision and grace. His attire reflects the fashion of the time, adding to the overall charm of the scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only the physicality of horse and rider but also their deep connection and mutual understanding. The whip held lightly in hand serves as both tool and symbol, representing control without force. This painting beautifully showcases haute ecole or high school dressage techniques that were highly esteemed during this period. It reminds us of the rich history behind equestrian sports and their enduring appeal. Bridgeman Images has expertly reproduced this artwork into a stunning print that allows viewers to appreciate its beauty from afar. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply captivated by horses, this piece will undoubtedly add sophistication and timeless charm to any space it graces.
