A Morning at Tattersalls
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the vibrant atmosphere of a bustling horse auction house in all its glory. Painted by Robert Polhill Bevan, this oil on canvas print measures 63.8x76.5 cm and is housed in the prestigious Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. The scene depicts a group of elegantly dressed gentlemen, donning top hats and bowler hats, engrossed in animated conversation as they observe the magnificent thoroughbred racehorses parading before them. The stables are abuzz with activity as grooms meticulously tend to these prized animals, ensuring their immaculate appearance. This artwork offers a fascinating glimpse into an era when horse racing was not only a sport but also a symbol of status and wealth. It encapsulates the excitement and anticipation that surrounded such auctions, where owners would gather to acquire or sell their prized horses. However, beyond the glamour lies an undercurrent of vice and gambling associated with this world. The presence of betting adds an element of risk and thrill to these proceedings, highlighting both the allure and potential pitfalls within this realm. Through Bevan's masterful brushstrokes, "A Morning at Tattersalls" transports us back in time to witness this moment filled with history and tradition. It serves as a testament to the enduring fascination that horses have held over humanity throughout centuries.
