拍品专文

Walter Winans was best known as a lover of horses, who sculpted and painted them. He was a marksman, breeder and competed in the Olympics of 1908 and 1912. Born to American parents in St Petersburg, he spent most of his adult life in England. This is a more unusual work by him, employing mixed media as well as subject matter that aligns him with the Symbolist interests of the time.
