Caroline Bromley Gardner

A charming original oil on canvas by Caroline Bromley Gardner, depicting a beautifully observed study of a white horse in full harness. Executed with confident brushwork and subtle tonal modelling, the painting captures both the elegance and strength of the animal, reflecting the artist’s keen understanding of equine anatomy.

The restrained background keeps the viewer’s attention entirely on the horse, making this an attractive decorative and collectible piece for lovers of sporting art, country house interiors, and equestrian subjects.

The work is signed and dated 1908 to the lower right and further inscribed “Caroline Bromley Gardner” on the reverse.

Presented in its original wooden frame.
