Description from the seller
Alfred Corbould (1821–1875)
"Fantino con cavallo"
Oil on cardboard
Measurements: 78 x 68 cm in frame
Painting: 60 x 50 cm
Period: 1871
Historical-artistic description
Elegant composition with an equestrian subject by Alfred Corbould, English painter of the 19th century, depicting a bay horse in motion, accompanied by a male figure identifiable as a jockey.
The animal, absolute protagonist of the scene, is represented with particular attention to the anatomical structure, to the gloss of the coat and to the naturalness of the movement.
The wooded landscape, characterized by a palette of greens and browns and by a delicate atmospheric luminosity, constitutes a balanced scenographic backdrop.
The work fits within the tradition of British 19th-century equestrian painting, particularly appreciated by aristocratic patrons and environments linked to horse racing.
Signature: Bottom right, «Corbould».
Frame: Important gilded frame of 19th-century taste, richly decorated with floral and ornamental relief motifs.
Condition: a superficial patina and some signs of time are detectable, compatible with the proposed period.
*** Photographic note
The photographic images (some) of the work were made with the aid of professional studio lighting and spotlights, in order to allow better readability of the composition, details and the painting medium. Such lighting can cause slight variations in color perception and luminosity compared to direct viewing of the work. The photographs are for illustrative and documentary purposes only.
The frame is supplied free of charge and as a gift with the work and must therefore be considered an accessory element, not included in the economic valuation of the painting. Due to the natural fragility of antique gilded frames, any damage, detachment, breakage or losses of parts of the frame occurring during transport or shipping cannot be the subject of refund, compensation or dispute relating to the value of the work. The packaging will nonetheless be prepared with the utmost care in order to ensure, as far as possible, a safe transport.
Shipped insured and sale document is legitimate provenance
