EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed George, 5th Duke of Gordon, mounted on his beloved horse named Tiny. Painted by Benjamin Marshall in 1806-7, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 101.5x127 cm and is currently housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the prestigious Paul Mellon Collection. In this exquisite portrait, we witness the duke embodying all the grace and power befitting a nobleman of his stature. His regal presence is enhanced by his striking attire - a traditional hunting outfit that exudes elegance and tradition. As he sits astride Tiny, their connection is palpable; it is evident that these two beings share an unbreakable bond built upon trust and mutual respect. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings every aspect of this scene to life. From the intricate brushstrokes capturing each strand of hair on both man and horse to the vibrant colors that illuminate their surroundings, Marshall masterfully captures a moment frozen in time. This extraordinary piece not only immortalizes one man's love for equestrian pursuits but also serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of English hunting traditions. It reminds us of a bygone era when horses were revered companions in outdoor pursuits such as fox hunting. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the grandeur and splendor associated with aristocratic life during early 19th-century England.
