专家说明


Charles Towne was one of the leading horse portraitists of his generation and was particularly admired for his sensitive and detailed rendering of landscapes. In the present work the towers of Chester Cathedral and Chester Castle are identifiable in the background.
Regulus was an award-winning chestnut colt foaled in 1788. Between 1791 and 1794, the horse won seventeen races. Towne painted Regulus in 1793, the same year the horse won the Gold Cup at Chester on 1 May, and the City and Corporation Plate two days later on 3 May.
