A Beautiful Small Painting For Those Who Love Horses

Dartmoor Ponies Watering.

By Thomas Rowden, British. 1842 - 1926

A beautifully naturalistic signed, original watercolour depicting seven, well painted, wild Dartmoor Ponies about to refresh themselves on a sunny day from a stream atop Dartmoor National Park, South Devon, England.

Painted in his characteristic fresh, naturalistic style, this is one the finest examples of his work we have seen.

Rowden was a competent largely self-taught, landscape painter who exhibited from 1884. His subjects were often of Cornwall, Dartmoor and Devon, but he also enjoyed painting sheep and cattle in the highlands. He exhibited two works in the Royal Academy prior to moving to Exeter ca. 1890. Examples of his work may be found in Exeter Museum.

Original period Giltwood frame and plaqued gilt liner, Original Glazing.
