J. Godby + H. Merke for Samuel Howitt “La Course De Chevaux” Equestrian Engraving, Framed
SOLD!
Design Plus Gallery presents a Framed Equestrian Engraving by J. Godby + H. Merke for Samuel Howitt “La Course de Chevaux”. The composition depicts jockeys racing across an open course, with horses and riders rendered in soft blue, tan, grey, and brown tones. Samuel Howitt was an 18th and early 19th century sporting and animal artist known for equestrian scenes, hunting subjects, and natural history illustrations. His work often captured movement, character, and athletic tension with a lively sense of observation. This print reflects the Regency-era sporting art tradition, with jockeys and horses shown in active motion across an open course. The print is presented under glass with a cream mat, a brown wood frame, and a gilt inner liner. It is in good condition; visible and minimal wear from usage.
