Antique 19th Century Grayscale Painting of Thoroughbred Horse, Oil on Board. During the latter part of the Victorian Era, artists experimented in many directions. One classic direction was the advent of grayscale paintings. Though common with Renaissance painters, too, and particularly so with those who also sculpted, these paintings required discipline and good knowledge of light to dark. Restricted to only grays, black and white, these artworks have really taken center stage. They are highly foraged by interior designers who craft predominantly in neutrals.
Our single thoroughbred horse stands stately with his carefully curried coat gleeming. Frame is veneered with bird's eye maple. Lost portions could be replaced if desired. Signed on reverse, H.E. Lucas-Lucas "Bluejacket."
Approximate Dimensions: 13"H X 16"W X 1"D (overall size of frame)
