Description
Circle of John Frederick Herring, Senior,
British 1795-1865-
A horse in a stable with chickens and a duck;
oil on canvas, bears signature 'J F Herring Senr' (lower left), 38.8 x 38.9 cm.
Provenance:
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
In 1814, at the age of 18, Herring moved to Doncaster, where he worked both as a night coach driver and as a painter of signs for inns and coach insignia, earning himself the moniker of the ‘artist coachman’ for the portraits of horses he produced for inn parlours. Herring soon received commissions from a range of wealthy customers, with patrons such as William Taylor Copeland (1797-1868), the Duchess of Kent (1788-1861) – to whom he served as animal painter – and Queen Victoria (1819-1901). In 1853, Herring moved to Meopham Park in Kent, and it is from this point that the artist moved away from horse portraits, instead spending his final years painting a wider variety of hunting and racing scenes, and landscapes.
