SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Harry Hall, born in Cambridge in the 1810s and deceased in Newmarket in 1882, specialised in portraits of racehorses. His activities centred particularly on Epsom and Newmarket. He depicted horses with their jockeys, but also painted personalities from the racing world and scenes of hunting and shooting.
Engravings and sporting periodicals, including Sporting Magazine, helped disseminate his work. The Government Art Collection holds his portrait of Princess, winner of the 1844 Oaks. In Hermit with Jockey up, signed and dated 1867, the horse appears in profile before the Epsom grandstands. Held by the National Trust at Mount Stewart, this canvas combines animal portraiture with a precise setting for the competition, situating its subject within the world of racing.
This profile brings together identity references for Harry Hall and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
