John Frederick Herring was a gifted horse painter who for a time worked as a coachman, later enjoying the patronage of royals and industrial barons. His equine art was highly prized by the fox-hunting and horse-riding gentry. Here we see the champion racehorse Skeleton preparing for the Doncaster Gold Cup.
