"Persimmon, With Jockey Up" is a notable painting by the British artist John Arnold Wheeler, who is renowned for his equestrian art. Wheeler, active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, specialized in capturing the dynamic and elegant essence of horses, particularly those involved in racing and hunting scenes. This particular work exemplifies his skill in portraying the relationship between horse and rider, a recurring theme in his oeuvre.

The painting features Persimmon, a celebrated racehorse owned by the Prince of Wales, who later became King Edward VII. Persimmon was a highly successful thoroughbred, winning several prestigious races including the Epsom Derby in 1896 and the St. Leger Stakes in the same year. Wheeler's depiction of Persimmon is not merely a static portrait but a vivid representation of the horse in motion, with the jockey poised expertly on its back, capturing a moment of intense focus and energy.

Wheeler's attention to detail is evident in the meticulous rendering of the horse's musculature and the jockey's attire, reflecting the artist's deep understanding of his subjects. The background of the painting, though secondary to the central figures, is skillfully executed to enhance the sense of movement and the atmosphere of the racecourse. The use of light and shadow adds depth and realism, making the scene come alive for the viewer.

"Persimmon, With Jockey Up" is celebrated not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance, as it immortalizes one of the most famous racehorses of the era. The painting is a testament to Wheeler's talent and his contribution to the genre of equestrian art, capturing the spirit of a bygone era of British horse racing.
