Description
A beautifully painted oil on canvas of a grey horse in a paddock with a chestnut foal. There is a distant property in the background. This lovely depiction of horses is by the renowned equine artist Peter Donnithorne. The adult horse is about to start munching on the grass whilst the foal is looking towards the painter. The picture is in a modern hardwood gilt frame which measures 58 x 48 cm, with the painting itself measuring 50 x 40 cm. This is one of two different pictures by the same artist in identical frames and identical sizes that we currently have in stock.
Peter Donnithorne British born in 1933, studied at The London School of Art. He served for 25 years in The Royal Navy from 1950 to 1975. He became a full time artist based in Chipping Sodbury but recognised as part of “The Bristol Scene”. In his early career he specialised in paintings of horse and hound before moving on to the landscapes and waterways of Bristol and the surrounding areas.
