About this lot

Description

signed lower right "J Wheeler / Bath / '77" oil on canvas; together with a miniature of the sitter, watercolour, in an ornate gilt frame with vine leaves (2) (Dimensions: 77 x 104 cm; 8 x 5 cm)

(77 x 104 cm; 8 x 5 cm)

Footnote: Other notes: "Duellist" was actually foaled in 1869 - his original name was "Gunpowder" but Sir Philip renamed him "Duellist". The present painting suggests that "Duellist" was now being used for jumping. Sir Philip rode "Duellist" four times in races, winning once. We are grateful to David Oldrey for his assistance with the catalogue entry.

Condition report: A little discolouration to the watercolour in the gilt frame.
