Henry William Standing (British, 1894-1931) Equine Painting of a Lady Riding Side Saddle, 1905

A refined equestrian portrait by celebrated British artist Henry William Standing, signed and dated 1905. Executed in watercolor and gouache on paper, this painting captures the poise and elegance of an English lady riding a dappled grey horse side saddle, set against a soft moorland landscape. The rider is dressed in traditional formal riding attire, her posture composed and regal, demonstrating the grace and discipline of dressage.
This work showcases Standing’s skill in rendering both equine anatomy and aristocratic leisure culture with precision and charm. The original paper is mounted under a double mat and presented in a giltwood frame under glass.
A captivating example of early 20th-century British sporting art, ideal for collectors of equine portraiture, Anglophile interiors, or classic riding tradition.
