Note:
John Nost Sartorius was a member of a dynasty of sporting painters, as the son of Francis Sartorius (1734-1804) and the grandson of John Sartorius (c.1700-c.1780). His patrons included a number of important contemporaries, including the Prince of Wales (1762-1830), Charles James Fox (1749-1806), and Sir Charles Bunbury (1740-1821), a significant figure in 19th-century British horseracing. The present work exhibits the tendencies which define Sartorius's output, including the sinuous curves of the horses' necks and an abundance of small hunting dogs below.
Lady Alexandra Naldera Metcalfe (née Curzon) was the third daughter of George Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston and Viceroy of India, and Lord Curzon's first wife, the American mercantile heiress, Mary Victoria Curzon, Baroness Curzon of Kedleston (née Leiter). She was named after her godmother, Queen Alexandra and her place of conception, Naldehra, India. She and her two older sisters were the subjects of a biography by Anne de Courcy in 'The Viceroy's Daughters: The Lives of the Curzon Sisters'.
