Original Description
James Ward’s Lord Exeter’s Augusta, Newmarket is a striking example of early 19th-century British sporting art, capturing the elegance and vitality of thoroughbred horse racing. Painted around 1822, the work showcases Ward’s mastery in combining Romanticism’s dynamism with meticulous attention to detail. The composition radiates energy—Lord Exeter’s prized mare, Augusta, stands proudly mid-stride, her muscular form and glossy coat rendered with lifelike precision, while the muted earthy tones of the Newmarket heath contrast with the vivid blues and whites of the sky. Ward, a renowned animalier and contemporary of Stubbs, elevates the genre by infusing grandeur into equine portraiture, bridging aristocratic pride and sporting tradition. This painting not only reflects Regency-era England’s equestrian obsession but also solidifies Ward’s legacy as a pivotal figure in Romantic animal painting, admired for his ability to blend naturalism with dramatic flair.
For interior styling, Lord Exeter’s Augusta would command attention as a statement piece in a study, library, or executive office, where its heritage and sophistication resonate. Opt for a gilded or dark wood frame to complement the warm ochres and deep blues in the artwork, and position it against rich, textured walls like tobacco-hued linen or forest-green paneling for depth. In contemporary spaces, balance its traditional grandeur with streamlined furniture—a matte black desk or leather Chesterfield sofa—to avoid visual clutter. Large-scale reproduction (roughly 36”x48”) ensures legibility of details, ideally hung at eye level in natural-light areas to enhance its earthy palette. For color harmony, incorporate accents in cognac, navy, or brass, echoing the painting’s tones, while botanical prints or equestrian bronzes alongside it would reinforce the sporting theme without overpowering.
