Equestrian & Country Estate Heritage Meets Fine British Portraiture
Capture classic sporting heritage and soulful canine devotion with this original oil painting on artist board, titled "Major" by British artist D. Talmadge.

Acquired from the New Town Gallery in Sussex, England, this piece comes housed in a vintage cream-finished wood frame with a linen insert liner. Its quiet nobility, warm palette of stone and terracotta, and country house charm make it a standout addition to any art collection or equestrian-inspired interior.
