31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this artwork titled "Rubbing down a horse in a paddock at a racetrack" artist Sawrey Gilpin transports us to the vibrant world of horse racing in the 18th or 19th century. The pencil and watercolor on paper print beautifully captures the scene, showcasing the meticulous care given to these magnificent creatures. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the groom, who stands beside a majestic racehorse in a bustling paddock. With gentle strokes, he rubs down its sleek coat, ensuring it looks its best before taking to the track. The attention to detail is evident as every muscle and sinew of both man and beast are meticulously rendered by Gilpin's skilled hand. Surrounding them are various figures - jockeys preparing for their upcoming races, spectators eagerly observing from afar, and stable hands going about their duties. Each character adds depth and life to this snapshot of horseracing culture. This drawing evokes feelings of anticipation and excitement that permeate through every aspect of horse racing. It serves as a testament to not only the athleticism but also the bond between humans and horses that has endured throughout history. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of Paul Mellon Collection, this artwork showcases Gilpin's talent in capturing movement and emotion with his delicate brushstrokes. It reminds us why horse racing continues to captivate audiences worldwide – it is an art form that celebrates grace, strength, dedication, and above all else, our deep connection
