1872
Edward Troye was the premier horse painter of 19th-century America, and this portrait of the chestnut mare Mary Hadley shows exactly why. Painted in 1872, the horse peers over her stall door with a soulful, almost human expression, her rich reddish coat glowing against the deep shadows of the stable. Troye was famous for capturing the specific likenesses of champion racehorses, treating them with the same dignity as human portraits of the era. The arched top gives it a classic feel, elevating this beautiful animal to a subject of high art.
