The Bayhorse, Tattersalls, 1921
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of the bustling horse market in Newmarket during the early 20th century. This exquisite print, created by Robert Polhill Bevan, showcases his mastery of crayon and chalk on paper. Measuring at 34.3x29.2 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. In this lively scene, we are transported to Tattersalls where buyers and sellers gather to trade thoroughbreds. The male figures exude an air of anticipation as they parade their prized horses before potential owners and dealers alike. A groom sporting a bowler hat attends to one of these majestic creatures with utmost care. The architectural grandeur of doric columns frames this vibrant marketplace, adding a touch of elegance to the scene. Amidst the flurry of activity, traders engage in spirited negotiations while eager buyers assess each horse's merits. Bevan's attention to detail captures not only the physical beauty but also the dynamic energy that permeates this auction setting. Every stroke brings life to both human and animal subjects alike. This remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when horse trading was an art form unto itself – an intersection between commerce and passion for these magnificent animals. It serves as a testament to Bevan's talent as well as an enduring tribute to Newmarket's rich equestrian heritage.
