EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil on canvas painting titled "Borlase Cokayne as a Boy riding Sultana" we are transported back to the year 1751, immersing ourselves in the world of equestrian sports and youthful ambition. The artist, Thomas Smith of Derby, skillfully captures the essence of a young Borlase Cokayne astride his majestic mount, Sultana. With an impressive size of 47x64.5 cm, this artwork commands attention and invites us to admire its intricate details. The composition showcases both rider and horse in perfect harmony; their partnership evident through every brushstroke. As we gaze upon this piece from the Paul Mellon Collection at Yale Center for British Art in the USA, we cannot help but be drawn into a bygone era where racing was not just a sport but also an art form. Cokayne's determination is palpable as he confidently guides Sultana with reins held firmly in hand. The jockey's vibrant attire adds a touch of elegance to the scene while emphasizing his role as both athlete and performer. Meanwhile, Sultana exudes power and grace with her muscular frame poised for action. This remarkable portrait encapsulates the spirit of thoroughbred racing and serves as a testament to human-animal connection that transcends time itself. It is no wonder that this masterpiece has become an iconic representation of sporting excellence throughout history.
