About James Lynwood Palmer
James Lynwood Palmer (1868–1941) was an English painter who specialised in painting race-horses, his characteristic style showing them as nervous and highly-strung, often depicted within a background of a dramatic landscape. His success as a leading equestrian portrait painter of the first half of the twentieth century is represented by around eight hundred paintings that were commissioned by clients, almost exclusively from private patrons, who included: William Cavendish-Bentinck, 6th Duke of Portland (1857–1943) (1900), Daisy Greville, Countess of Warwick (1861–1938) and King George V (1865–1936). He rarely exhibited his work to the public.
