Corbiere Framed Watercolour of Racehorses Hurdling
This framed watercolour, attributed to Corbiere, depicts two jockeys guiding their mounts over a hurdle during a race. The rider in the foreground wears light blue silks with a matching cap and carries the number 6, while a second jockey in pink silks follows closely behind on a dark-coated horse. A red flag marked with a white “B” stands at the rear of the course, and the hurdle is shown as a green hedge above a timber base, set against a pale blue sky with soft clouds. The work is signed at the lower edge of the paper.
Condition and Presentation
The watercolour is presented in a gilt-finish frame with a fine beaded inner moulding and a sage green mount with a cream inner border. The painting is displayed behind glass. Further condition details are available from the auction house on request. The subject of racehorses in full flight, combined with the traditional framing, is likely to appeal to collectors of sporting art, equestrian enthusiasts and those interested in steeplechase and National Hunt racing scenes.
