EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative painting by Maurice Taquoy captures the everyday scene at Egerton House stables in Newmarket during the 1930s. The artist masterfully depicts the hustle and bustle of stable life, with horses and grooms going about their business in the background, while a man in the foreground sweeps out a pigpen. The enclosure, with its muddy floor and scattered straw, is home to a curious pig, its snout buried in the ground. The scene is one of simple, rural life, with the red-roofed buildings of the stableyard rising up in the background. Taquoy's use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the image, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past. The painting, dated 1931, offers a window into the world of farming in the 1930s, with its focus on the often-overlooked role of pigs in the stable yard. This image is a testament to the hard work and dedication required to maintain the daily operations of a stable, and serves as a reminder of the rich agricultural history of Newmarket.
