Original Description
John Snr Ferneley's Lord Herbert's Grey Mare Being Held By A Groom, A Hunt Beyond (c.1825) captures the exhilarating energy of English country life during the Regency era. The oil painting masterfully blends sporting precision with lyrical atmosphere, depicting a sleek grey mare poised mid-hunt while distant riders surge across autumnal fields. Ferneley's academic training under Ben Marshall shines through in the anatomically flawless equine rendering, while his soft handling of misty middle-ground woodlands nods to Romantic influences. As one of the finest proponents of British sporting art, Ferneley elevated equestrian painting from documentary records to expressive landscapes teeming with movement. The dynamic diagonal composition—balancing the groom's stationary figure against the streaking hunt—embodies the genre's golden age when aristocratic patronage fused with technical brilliance, making this work particularly coveted by collectors of Regency-era art.
Measuring approximately 72x60cm, this work commands attention as a focal point in traditional interiors when framed in brushed gilt with linen-wrapped matting. The mare's pearlescent coat harmonizes beautifully with silver-leafed furnishings or slate-blue walls in a study, while the russet tones in the distant hunt suggest pairing with leather Chesterfields. For contemporary settings, consider dramatic scaling above a minimalist console to let Ferneley's loose background brushwork contrast with clean lines. An executive office benefits from its narrative tension when flanked by Georgian-style bookcases, with the painting's inherent motion subtly energizing the space. The medium size ensures versatility—equally impactful hung at eye level in a dining room wainscot or positioned as part of a salon-style grouping with other 19th-century animaliers like Sir Alfred Munnings.
