🐴 #StudySunday today is all about Lady Munnings’ horse Cheena…
“…Cheena next, my wife's old friend and companion. Sweet, kindly, long-suffering Cheena, with large ears, a kind eye and a beautiful forelock and mane. I love her…” - Munnings in his Autobiography.

Whilst living in Norwich in the 1890s, Munnings attended evening classes at the Norwich school of art.
Munnings wrote: "Norwich itself was then a beautiful place... I now realise what a playground it was for the artist. No wonder it had its famous Norwich School of Painters…”
In celebration of #BurnsNight tonight, we share three versions of Munnings’ ‘Isabella’.
Munnings was clearly taken with this imagined heroine as he created several different pictures on the subject.

⛄️“Just as I was laying aside my paper I was reminded of a winter at Withypool with deep snow.”
- Sir Alfred Munnings in his Autobiography.

The 1920s&30s witnessed the consolidation of a highly regarded artistic career for Munnings & firmly established his reputation as a masterly equine painter.
This portrait of Major E Shackle (Buckinghamshire Farmers' Hunt) is a wonderful example of Munnings’ work at this time.
