This touching portrait of a white horse by notable English artist Dominic Fels (circa 1958) is sure to put a smile on your face, transporting the viewer to a rural countryside around the UK. The dedication on the reverse identifies the subject as “True Blue”, an 11 year old gelding, along with the name of the horse’s owner and county of Somerset, though unclear if this was painted as a commission or a gift. Thoughtful attention to detail captures all the rustic textures of the stable including an impasto technique on the stacked stone, the pigment now exhibiting an allover craquelure pattern developed over time.
