{"product_id":"antique-oil-painting-of-a-jockey-round-metal-plate","title":"Antique Oil Painting of a Jockey, Round Metal Plate","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis oil painting depicts a jockey and his mount pausing quietly before a race, rendered on a round metal plate rather than canvas, a format that lends the surface an unusual density and sheen. The jockey sits upright in his red silks and white breeches, reins held loose, while the horse stands calm against a dark, almost velvety ground that pushes the pair forward into the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAttributed to the school of the 19th or early 20th century, the painting sits within a long tradition of sporting art focused on the quiet moments around a race rather than the action itself, a genre especially popular in France and England during this period. The brushwork is confident and economical, built up in thick passages on the horse's coat and jockey's silks that catch the light differently depending on the angle it's viewed from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe painting is presented in its original carved giltwood frame with a green painted outer border, oak leaf ornament in the corners, and a wide gilt oval mount surrounding the round painted surface. The frame shows genuine age consistent with the painting itself, including a few small separations typical of a piece well over a century old.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 8 7\/8 inches in diameter, it is a striking, self-contained piece of sporting art, well suited to a study, library, or anywhere equestrian and racing subjects are collected.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collectors Gene","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50224309371018,"sku":null,"price":980.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/1247\/6810\/files\/Antique_Oil_Painting_of_a_Jockey_Round_Metal_Plate_1.jpg?v=1791560423","url":"https:\/\/collectorsgene.com\/products\/antique-oil-painting-of-a-jockey-round-metal-plate","provider":"Collectors Gene","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
