Barefoot, Winner of the St Leger - A Timeless Triumph
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the legendary racehorse, Barefoot, who triumphantly claimed victory at the prestigious St Leger. Engraved by Thomas Sutherland in 1823 and beautifully colored by John Frederick Herring Snr. , this artwork captures a moment frozen in time. The image portrays an exquisite profile of Barefoot, his muscular form glistening under the warm English sun. The skilled jockey, Dick Goodison, sits confidently atop the champion thoroughbred as they navigate through an idyllic English landscape. A loyal stable hand stands nearby, ready to assist if needed. Barefoot's undeniable elegance is accentuated by his sleek coat and powerful stance. His determined expression reveals a spirit that propelled him to greatness on that fateful day. This portrait immortalizes not only a remarkable breed but also the bond between horse and rider. Owned by Richard Watt, Esq. , and Gilbert Crompton, Esq. , this masterpiece now resides within a private collection but remains accessible for all to admire thanks to The British Sporting Art Trust. Its historical significance cannot be overstated; it symbolizes both sporting excellence and artistic mastery. As we gaze upon this extraordinary work of art from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness Barefoot's triumphant moment once more—a testament to unwavering dedication and unparalleled skill in equestrian sports history.
