Created by the collaborative efforts of J.F. Herring Snr. and James Pollard, two prominent artists of the 19th century known for their equestrian and sporting scenes, this painting commemorates the dramatic dead heat race at the Doncaster Great St Leger Stakes. The event took place in 1839, marking a significant moment in horse racing history, as dead heats in such prestigious races were rare.
J.F. Herring Snr., born John Frederick Herring in 1795, was a British painter famous for his equestrian subjects and was often regarded as one of the top English horse portraitists of his time. His works frequently depicted racehorses belonging to the aristocracy of the day, capturing the beauty and dynamism of these animals with remarkable accuracy and detail.
James Pollard, another key figure in the world of British sporting and coaching art, was known for his depictions of horses, coaches, and later, scenes from the burgeoning railway industry. Born in 1792, Pollard's works are celebrated for their vibrant portrayal of movement and the bustling energy of early 19th-century life.
