A painting of a racehorse and jockey by Alfred Charles Havell (1855-1928), dating to circa 1890. Oil on canvas and presented in a Victorian gilt frame. This fine quality painting depicts a jockey sitting upon a bay racehorse that appears spooked by a white feather that has fallen on the grass. This is a wonderful painting with an excellent amount of detail. It is signed “A. C. Havell” lower left and has an illegible inscription on the stretcher verso – possibly the name of the horse or jockey.
