This particular work is a testament to his skill in portraying the dynamism and elegance of racehorses, as well as the excitement of the sport itself.

The painting features Little Wonder, a relatively small horse by racing standards, which adds a layer of intrigue and admiration to his Derby victory. Herring's depiction of Little Wonder is both lifelike and imbued with a sense of movement, reflecting the horse's agility and speed. The background of the painting often includes elements of the racecourse, spectators, and other horses, providing a comprehensive view of the event and its atmosphere.

John Frederick Herring Sr. was one of the leading animal painters of his time, and his works were highly sought after by the British aristocracy and racing enthusiasts. His ability to capture the physical characteristics and spirited nature of horses earned him a distinguished reputation.
