Charles Bilger Spalding (1810–1871) | A Chestnut Hunter in a Stable, 1843

An intimate portrait from the refined world of early Victorian British sporting art.

Signed and dated 1843, this evocative oil by Charles Bilger Spalding presents a mature chestnut hunter standing quietly within its stable.

There is no spectacle of the hunt here. No rider, hounds or expansive landscape. Instead, Spalding gives the horse the dignity of an individual portrait.

Rich chestnut, russet and mahogany tones describe the animal against the subdued architecture of the stable, while its attentive eye creates a remarkable sense of presence.

Spalding first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1840 and developed a documented career centred upon sporting and country subjects. His work was also associated with the important London sporting publishers S. & J. Fuller, while sporting paintings by the artist are represented in British public collections.

The present work has documented provenance through Mallams, Oxford.

Canvas: 53 cm wide × 41 cm high
Framed: 66.5 cm wide × 54 cm high × 2.5 cm deep
