John Frederick Herring Snr's "A Missing Shoe" is a notable work within the genre of equine art, a field in which Herring established himself as a preeminent figure during the 19th century. Painted in the mid-19th century, this artwork exemplifies Herring's meticulous attention to detail and his profound understanding of horse anatomy and behavior, which garnered him acclaim among both art connoisseurs and the aristocracy of his time.

"A Missing Shoe" captures a moment of rural life with a striking realism that was characteristic of Herring's style. The painting depicts a blacksmith's forge, where a horse is being attended to for the replacement of a lost horseshoe. The scene is rich with narrative detail: the blacksmith, tools in hand, is poised to affix the new shoe, while the horse, rendered with lifelike precision, stands patiently. Surrounding them, various elements of the forge and countryside are depicted with a keen eye for texture and light, from the glowing embers of the forge to the rustic wooden beams of the structure.

Herring's ability to convey the textures of the horse's coat, the worn leather of the tack, and the rough surfaces of the blacksmith's tools speaks to his technical prowess and deep appreciation for his subjects. The composition is both dynamic and balanced, drawing the viewer's eye to the central action while also inviting exploration of the surrounding details.

This painting not only highlights Herring's skill as an artist but also serves as a historical document, offering insight into the everyday lives and labor of 19th-century rural England. "A Missing Shoe" stands as a testament to Herring's legacy in the realm of equine art, reflecting his dedication to capturing the beauty and utility of horses in a rapidly changing world.
