ELISABETH FRINK | Horse and Rider, 1974
33" x 23½" / 84cms x 60cms
Watercolour
Watercolour painting of a horse and their rider.
Eisabeth Frink was born in 1930 in Thurlow, Suffolk. From a very early age, Elisabeth developed a love and fascination with the outdoors. She was competent in riding and shooting and adored dogs - all of which were, at the time, considered male activities and attributes. It could be said that this fascination with masculinity would become a dominant feature of her art.
