EDITORS COMMENTS
In this graphite and red chalk print by James Seymour, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of equestrian elegance. The scene captures a lady gracefully riding side-saddle on her majestic steed, as she turns her head to gaze at a dismounted rider nearby. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of both the human figures and their equine companions. The lady's posture exudes poise and refinement, showcasing the skill required for such an unconventional riding style. Her fashionable attire further emphasizes her status and sophistication. Meanwhile, the dismounted rider stands with an air of nonchalance, perhaps engaging in conversation or simply admiring his companion's horsemanship. This interaction between the two figures adds depth and intrigue to the composition, leaving us curious about their relationship or shared experience. Seymour masterfully captures not only the physicality of horseback riding but also its inherent beauty and grace. Through his delicate strokes and careful shading techniques, he brings life to each stroke of graphite on paper. This exquisite artwork is housed within Yale Center for British Art's prestigious Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. Its presence within this esteemed collection speaks volumes about its artistic merit and historical significance. As we admire this remarkable piece from Seymour's body of work, we are reminded of a bygone era when horseback riding was not only a means of transportation but also an art form that embodied elegance and tradition.
