Pharaoh's Horses 1848 JF Herring, Sr Hi-Def Card

“Pharaoh’s Horses” by John Frederick Herring Sr, first exhibited in 1848. A three head studies of the grey Arabian stallion, Imaum, originally owned by Queen Victoria. She presented Imaum to her Clerk of the Royal Stables, who sold him to a British auction house and purchased by the artist J.F. Herring. Used as a model for many of his paintings, Herring kept him his whole life. A trainer was hired and this respected trainer said Imaun was the most brilliant horse he had ever worked known. Herring dearly loved Imaun. I remember seeing an old print of this in my maternal grandparents' farm house attic when I was a young boy. I do not know why but when I was a young boy I had horse statues and read books about horses including about the evolution of horses.
