The focal point of the artwork is Scamp, a magnificent bay racehorse owned by none other than the esteemed 3rd Duke of Devonshire. With its sleek and muscular physique, Scamp exudes power and grace as it stands proudly on a racecourse, possibly Newmarket. The artist, John Wootton, masterfully captures every intricate detail of both Scamp and his jockey. The jockey's colorful attire adds a touch of excitement to the scene as he prepares for an exhilarating event. It is evident that this equestrian portrait was created with great care and admiration for these majestic creatures.
