Harry Hall (painter)

Harry Hall (c. 1814 – 22 April 1882) was an English equestrian painter, whose works were in demand by horse owners.

His output was prolific and he was the foremost racehorse portraitist of his time: his style has been described as being "strikingly modern... when compared with many of his contemporaries".

[2] Hall was born in Cambridge towards the middle of the second decade of the 19th century (dates of 1813,[3][4] 1814,[5] 1815,[6] and 1816[7] are to be found in biographies).

He first appeared as an artist at Tattersalls, working on a number of their publications; initially British Racehorses and The Sporting Review.

He worked from his home, Willoughby House, Newmarket, from 1846 and frequently across England and Europe.
