EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time at Newstead Abbey in 1724. Painted by the talented artist Peter Tillemans, it showcases two magnificent racehorses accompanied by their diligent grooms and playful hounds. The horses stride gracefully from left to right, their profiles elegantly displayed for the viewer's admiration. A young groom dressed in vibrant red attire confidently rides atop the majestic gray horse, clutching a riding crop in his right hand. Meanwhile, another groom leads the second horse on foot with his back turned towards us. In the foreground, three lively dogs stand or frolic around, adding an element of liveliness to this serene scene. As we gaze into the background, our eyes are treated to breathtaking views of Newstead Abbey's west and south facades. Beyond them lies a glimpse into the Great Garden—a tranquil oasis that complements this picturesque landscape. Not only does this artwork showcase Lord Byron's beloved racehorses and their dedicated caretakers but it also provides a window into a bygone era of equestrian sport and leisurely pursuits. It is an exquisite representation of both nature's beauty and human ingenuity captured through Tillemans' masterful brushstrokes
