Frank Hall Standish (1799–1840) was an English art collector, bibliophile, and author, known for his extensive collection of paintings, books, and manuscripts. Born into a wealthy family, Standish inherited a substantial fortune, which he used to amass a significant collection of artworks and rare books. His passion for the arts and literature was evident in his meticulous curation of his collections, which included works by prominent artists of his time.

One notable piece associated with Standish is "Black Hunter with a Groom and a Second Horse" by John Ferneley Sr. (1782–1860), an esteemed English painter renowned for his equestrian and hunting scenes. Ferneley, a contemporary of George Stubbs, was celebrated for his ability to capture the dynamism and elegance of horses, making him a favored artist among the British aristocracy and gentry.

"Black Hunter with a Groom and a Second Horse" exemplifies Ferneley's skill in portraying equine subjects with remarkable detail and vitality. The painting depicts a black hunter horse, accompanied by a groom and a second horse, set against a pastoral backdrop. Ferneley's attention to anatomical precision and the naturalistic rendering of the horses' forms highlight his deep understanding of equine anatomy and movement. The composition not only showcases the physical beauty of the horses but also reflects the social and cultural significance of hunting and equestrian pursuits in 19th-century England.

Standish's acquisition of this work underscores his discerning taste and commitment to collecting high-quality art. His collections, including Ferneley's painting, were later bequeathed to the Louvre Museum in Paris, following his death in 1840. This bequest significantly enriched the museum's holdings, particularly in the realm of British art, and ensured that Standish's legacy as a patron of the arts would endure. Today, "Black Hunter with a Groom and a Second Horse" remains a testament to both Ferneley's artistic prowess and Standish's dedication to preserving and celebrating fine art.
