Cecil Aldin was a British artist and illustrator who was a household name with a substantial public following from the later 1880s to the 1930s. Today he is regarded as being one of the most original and very best sporting artists of the twentieth century and his works is highly collectable. As an artist Aldin preferred to work in pencil or watercolor, but also produced pastels and many fine etchings. His works show great humour and precision and he was a master of caricature in the drawing of both people and animals. Aldin was a man of great charm and led a full, industrious and interesting life. He illustrated some of the most famous literature of his day, associated with Lance Thackery and Alfred Munnings, made significant contributions to national sporting and community life and produced one of the defining images of the Great War. Today his works are held by the National War Museum and notable collections world-wide.

This is an original chalk drawing dating from around the beginning of the twentieth century.
It depicts two brown horses, one darker than the other, each with white fetlocks and white blaze. They are harnesses to a lightweight fly or simple cart and are trotting. The driver, a middle-aged gentleman, is seated in the fly, and wearing a brown coat, trousers and a grey bowler hat. He has a white moustache and an expression of concentration and contentment. He is leaning forward and holding the reins in his hands. The overall impression is one of grace and ease, created with a masterly touch and the minimum of fuss. A really classy piece.
