John Frederick Herring (1795-1865).  "Elis.  The Winner of the Great St. Leger Stakes at Doncaster, 1836…”

London: Herring and Fuller, [1838] late 19th century re-strike.  12 ½ x 16 ½ (image).  Aquatint by C. Hunt.  Full hand color.   Very good condition.  

John Frederick Herring (Senior) was born in Surrey and died in Tunbridge Wells.  He was an exacting but prolific painter of animals with special emphasis on horses.  His most prestigious commissions were from Queen Victoria, the Duke of Orlean, and George IV.  He is known as one of the top realistic painters of the English School and generates high praise from all who view his works.  He exhibited at the Royal Academy constantly from 1818 to 1865.  This particular print, though initially published approximately in 1838, is a re-strike from the original plate issued in the late 19th century.
