Original Description
John Frederick Herring Snr's The End of The Day 2 (1853) captures a poignant moment of rest and quiet dignity in rural Victorian England. Painted during Herring's mature period, this oil-on-canvas masterpiece exemplifies his celebrated equine portraiture, showcasing two magnificent shire horses standing harnessed to their cart at twilight. Soft golden light bathes their muscular forms and highlights the intricate harness details, creating a warm contrast against the dusky blue countryside. As Britain's premier sporting artist of his era, Herring elevates working animals to subjects worthy of fine art – his precise academic technique meeting Romanticism's emotional depth. The painting's historical significance lies in documenting England's agricultural transition, memorializing draft horses soon to be replaced by machinery. Currently held in private collections, these "horse portraits" established Herring's legacy between Stubbs' anatomical precision and Munnings' impressionistic vigor.
For contemporary spaces, The End of The Day 2 brings timeless sophistication. In a study or executive office, choose a prominent wall near leather furnishings to echo the harness textures – the painting's standard 24"×30" size commands attention without overwhelming. Pair with muted earth tones and brass accents that mirror its golden undertones. For farmhouse interiors, display horizontally alongside reclaimed wood shelves bearing antique harnesses as three-dimensional complements. Modern lofts benefit from its contrast when framed in slim black and hung above charcoal upholstery. Avoid overcrowding walls; this narrative piece deserves breathing room. The painting's serene mood suits bedrooms when lit with warm-directed lighting to enhance its crepuscular glow. Zoomed-in giclee reproductions work beautifully above mantels, cropping to emphasize the horses' expressive eyes and glistening coats at intimate viewing distances.
