Signed and dated 1902, this piece beautifully captures a lively moment of Edwardian-era leisure, with an elegantly dressed couple being driven through the countryside in a horse-drawn carriage led by a groom and a spirited pair of greys.

This work showcases Standing's signature attention to detail, particularly in the precise rendering of the horses, carriage, and period attire. The soft washes of watercolor are expertly balanced with the defined highlights of gouache, bringing the scene to life with motion and charm.

Presented under glass in a double-matted giltwood frame, this piece adds timeless English sporting sophistication to any traditional, classic, or eclectic interior.

A perfect addition for collectors of equine art, British watercolors, or Edwardian decorative arts! See less
