AFTER JAMES SEYMOUR MEZZOTINT HORSE ENGRAVINGS
After James Seymour (1702-1752, British) Mezzotint race horse portrait engraving pair. Pair includes one Childers, the Fleetest Horse that Ever Run at Newmarket, and one The Portraiture of the Famous Horse Old Partner. Seymour was born in London. His father was an amateur artist and art dealer, whose other business dealings (as a banker, goldsmith, and diamond merchant) afforded young Seymour the leisure time to study art on his own, either his father's or the art at the Virtuosi Club of St. Luke - a gentleman's club his father belonged to, specializing in art. In a short time the boy was a self-taught artist, familiar with many of the prominent artists of the period.
