Description

James Seymour’s artwork presents a refined equestrian scene, showcasing a gentleman in formal riding attire mounted on a strong, well-groomed horse. The landscape shows the outskirts of London, with Lanesborough House (left), and Chelsea Hospital in the distance. A loyal dog runs alongside, emphasizing the elegance and harmony between rider, horse, and canine. The rich details—like the red and gold saddle blanket and the dramatic sky—exemplify Seymour’s mastery of 18th-century sporting art, portraying both aristocratic leisure and the beauty of the countryside.
