Collection: Morning gallop

This original pastel painting presents a close-up portrait of a Thoroughbred racehorse mid-action, its dark mane streaming and its bridle catching the light as it moves through its paces. Bred for speed and stamina, the Thoroughbred is the defining breed of British horse racing — a sport with roots stretching back to the 17th century and still central to the country's rural and sporting life. The painting focuses on the powerful arch of the neck and the intensity of the eye, conveying both the athleticism and the sensitivity that make the Thoroughbred such a compelling subject. Painted against a cool, misty blue-grey ground, the rich warmth of the bay coat is rendered with striking depth and luminosity.
