Two racehorses with grooms and hounds in the park at Newstead Abbey, by Peter Tillemans, 1724

One of a pair of sporting paintings depicting the 4th Lord Byron's racehorses and their grooms in the grounds at Newstead Abbey. The two horses are shown full-length walking in profile to the viewer's left, a young groom in red costume and carrying a riding crop in his right hand astride the gray horse; a second groom on foot, his back to the viewer, leads the other horse. In the foreground three dogs stand or run. In the background are the west and south facades of the Abbey with a view into the Great Garden beyond. Three horses exercise in the middle distance.
