John Frederick Herring Sr., a prominent 19th-century British painter, is renowned for his masterful depictions of horses, particularly those that achieved fame in the world of racing. One of his notable works is the painting of "Surplice," the winner of the 1848 St Leger Stakes. The St Leger Stakes, held annually at Doncaster Racecourse, is one of the oldest and most prestigious horse races in the world, forming part of the English Triple Crown.

Herring's painting captures the essence of Surplice, a bay colt who not only won the St Leger but also triumphed in the Epsom Derby the same year, making him one of the few horses to achieve this remarkable double victory. The painting is celebrated for its realistic portrayal and attention to detail, showcasing Herring's exceptional ability to convey the power, grace, and elegance of the thoroughbred.

In the artwork, Surplice is depicted in a moment of poised stillness, exuding a sense of strength and readiness. The background often features the lush, green expanses of the racecourse, with spectators and other elements of the racing world subtly included to provide context and atmosphere. Herring's use of light and shadow, combined with his meticulous brushwork, brings the scene to life, making the viewer almost feel the tension and excitement of the race day.

Herring's paintings were highly sought after during his lifetime, and his works, including the painting of Surplice, continue to be admired for their historical significance and artistic merit. They offer a window into the rich heritage of British horse racing and the celebrated figures within it. The painting of Surplice stands as a testament to Herring's skill and his deep appreciation for the equine form, securing his legacy as one of the foremost equestrian artists of his time.
