Ascot heat
preparing to start
a splendid, large-scale engraving that delicately captures the moment of preparation for the start of a race at ascot, an iconic venue in english horse racing tradition. The delicate watercolor, combined with the sepia tone, creates a luminous and refined atmosphere.
the original antique frame, gilded with leaf and richly decorated with leaves, enhances and contrasts the delicate nature of the image.
a distinctive element is the elongated, horizontal format, unusual and refined, which creates great visual momentum while maintaining a modest height: a perfect balance for decorating difficult walls, adding a touch of english elegance and originality to the space.
an ideal work for those who love equestrian art, the regency aesthetic, and country-chic settings.
aquatint engraving printed with sepia-toned ink and very fine coloring contemporary with the watercolor.
engraver: thomas sutherland (1785 – 19th century), renowned for his mastery of hunting and horse scenes in aquatint.

period: first half of the 19th century
important antique gilt-leaf wood frame. It features a richly carved molding, with a decorative leaf motif and internal beading.
