專家說明

The present painting is one of two works by Spencer originally owned by the Earl of Rosebery, both of which depicted horses belonging to Mr. Churchman. The other, of the same dimensions, was painted in 1730 and portrayed the blue roan mare Bonatee (Sir W. Gilbey, Animal Painters of England, II, London, 1900, p. 179).
