This charming watercolour depicts a scene entitled "Horses Resting in the Shade," in the style of the renowned British artist Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788). The unsigned artwork measures 9cm x 14cm and captures a tranquil moment of horses seeking respite from the sun.
The composition of this piece bears a striking resemblance to another Gainsborough pastel titled 'Wooded Landscape with Peasant Asleep and Horses outside a Shed,' housed in the prestigious Tate collection. This similarity adds an intriguing layer of context and potential connection to the renowned artist's body of work.
Presented by Duggleby Auctioneers, this exquisite watercolour invites viewers to immerse themselves in a serene countryside setting, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing the beauty of everyday moments.
