Painting Description
"Portrait of Mr. T.W. Coke Esq. and Clerk Hilliard Esq. with a North Devon Ox" is a painting by the British artist W.H. Davis, whose full name and life details remain less documented in the annals of art history. The painting is significant for its depiction of two gentlemen, presumably Thomas William Coke and Clerk Hilliard, alongside a North Devon ox, which is a breed of cattle known for its reddish-brown coat and historical importance in agriculture and meat production in the United Kingdom.
The artwork is an example of British portraiture and animal painting from the period, reflecting the social status of landowners and their connection to agriculture and livestock breeding. The inclusion of the North Devon ox suggests a sense of pride in local livestock and may imply the subjects' involvement in agricultural improvement or animal husbandry, which were common pursuits among the gentry of the time.
While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is likely from the 19th century, a period when there was a growing interest in agricultural sciences and the improvement of livestock breeds in Britain. The painting's composition, with its detailed rendering of the subjects and the ox set against a landscape background, is characteristic of the era's portraiture.
The painting's provenance, current location, and critical reception are not extensively recorded, and as such, the work is not as well-known as those by more prominent artists of the time. Nevertheless, "Portrait of Mr. T.W. Coke Esq. and Clerk Hilliard Esq. with a North Devon Ox" provides a window into the rural gentry's life and interests during a period of significant change in British agriculture.
This introduction aims to provide a general overview of the painting, its subject matter, and its context within British art history. Further research would be required to expand upon the artist's biography, the painting's history, and its significance within the broader scope of 19th-century British portraiture and animal painting.
