A large original vintage oil painting from the 1970s. Signed lower right by John Gray. A handsome chestnut horse stands poised in an expansive pastoral landscape. The horse’s rich reddish-brown coat, golden mane, and distinctive white facial marking and stockings are rendered with careful attention to detail, capturing the animal’s elegant proportions and quiet strength. Set against a softly painted meadow, distant tree line, and blue-gray mountain peaks beneath a cloudy sky, the composition evokes the timeless beauty of the American countryside. The muted greens and earthy tones of the landscape provide a beautiful contrast to the horse’s warm coloring, while the atmospheric sky lends depth and tranquility to the scene. Excellent condition and newly framed. Measures 23 x 27 inches including the frame.
