EDITORS COMMENTS
Under The Hammer" is a captivating oil painting from circa 1918, showcasing the dynamic and tense atmosphere of an ongoing horse auction. The centerpiece of the scene is a magnificent white horse, its coat glistening under the bright auction house lights. Surrounding the horse is a gathered crowd of potential bidders, each with intent expressions and raised paddles, ready to make their bid. The painting is a testament to the rich history of horse auctions and the excitement they bring. The use of color in the artwork is masterful, with the red and gold of the auctioneer's hammer and robe standing out against the muted tones of the horse and the crowd. This painting is a rare find, as it is not often that such a detailed and vivid depiction of an auction emerges from the early 20th century. It is believed to be the work of Robert Bevan (1865-1925), a renowned British painter known for his figurative and impressionist works. This painting is available as a print from the March of the Women Collection on Mary Evans Prints Online. The collection, which was first published in a color magazine in January 1919, features a wide range of historical and artistic treasures. This particular painting is a must-have for any art collector or history enthusiast, providing a glimpse into the past and the fascinating world of horse auctions. Whether displayed in a home or office, "Under The Hammer" is sure to be a conversation starter and a source of intrigue for all who see it. Its intricate details and vivid colors bring the scene to life, making it a true work of art that can be enjoyed for generations to come.
