Painting Description
"Pussy, a dark brown racehorse with his trainer Old John Day, Mr. T. Cosby, and W. B. Day at Epsom" is an oil painting by John Ferneley Sr., a renowned British equestrian artist of the 19th century. Created in 1845, the painting captures a moment in the rich history of British horse racing, depicting the thoroughbred racehorse Pussy alongside key figures associated with the horse's career. The central figure in the composition is Pussy, a dark brown racehorse known for his performances on the turf. Accompanying Pussy are his trainer, Old John Day, a respected figure in the racing community; Mr. T. Cosby, likely a patron or owner; and W. B. Day, possibly a jockey or another individual involved in the horse's training.
John Ferneley Sr. (1782–1860) was one of the leading equestrian artists of his time, celebrated for his ability to capture the spirit and form of the racehorse, as well as the vibrant atmosphere of the racing scene. His works are characterized by their attention to detail, accuracy in the portrayal of the horses, and the depiction of the relationships between the animals and their handlers. This particular painting is a fine example of Ferneley's skill in portraying the equine subject and the human figures that were integral to the sport of horse racing.
The painting not only serves as a portrait of the racehorse but also provides insight into the social and sporting culture of the time. The setting of the artwork, Epsom, is significant as it is the location of the Epsom Downs Racecourse, home to the prestigious Epsom Derby. The presence of the individuals in the painting suggests the importance of collaboration and patronage in the racing world of the 19th century.
"Pussy, a dark brown racehorse with his trainer Old John Day, Mr. T. Cosby, and W. B. Day at Epsom" is an important work within Ferneley's oeuvre and holds value for its artistic merit as well as its historical significance in documenting an aspect of British equestrian history. The painting is a testament to the enduring legacy of horse racing in British culture and the timeless appeal of the equine form in art.
