Lot Essay

This applique is inspired by a design issued twice by the virtuoso carver Thomas Johnson (1714-c.1778), first in his Collection of Designs, 1758, pl. 41 and again in One Hundred and Fifty New Designs, 1761, pl. 51. The eating horse is a distinctive and recurrent feature of Johnson's designs of this rustic type.
