Portrait of a Favourite Bay

c. 1810
Oil on canvas, 64 x 76 cm
Private collection

The painting depicts a favourite Bay held by a black groom in a landscape. It shows the artist in his prime and illustrates the uncommonly fine technique which he employed. The subject matter of a favourite horse and groom is commonplace in Georgian sporting painters.
