This is an outstanding oil on canvas horse portrait of the incredible Thoroughbred Ten Broeck in a stall by Henry Stull (American, 1851-1913), one of the most renown painters of horses of his day. Ten Broeck (Phaeton-Fanny Holton, by Lexington) was a bay horse foaled in 1872, owned and bred by F.B. Harper of Kentucky. He had a sensational racing career. He did not race until he was a three year-old when he won 5 of 8 starts, and at age 4 he won 7 races, beating every horse he faced except H.P. McGraths Aristides in the 1875 Kentucky Derby, in which he placed fifth. As a 5 year-old, Ten Broeck won 8 races in a row and retired to stud in 1877. By the time he retired, he had run 4 miles in 7:15-3/4 to beat Fellowcrafts record by 3-3/4 seconds at Pimlico, beating Tom Ochiltree and Parole, and he held 3 other American records over a wide range of distances (1 mile in 1:39-3/4, 2 miles in 3:27-1/2, and 2-5/8 miles in 4:58-1/2). Henry Stull was one of the premier Thoroughbred racehorse painters of his day. He came to New York City from Ontario in 1870, intent on a career in acting. He painted stage scenery and illustrated and cartooned for Leslies and The Spirit of the Times. By the late 1870s, he focused on painting his specialty, horses. He was most productive between 1890-1910, often visiting Kentucky horse farms and later Europe on commission. He is listed in Falk, "Who Was Who in American Art." The painting is signed and dated 1880 lower left. Dimensions: 16-1/4 x 24 inches, canvas size; 21-1/2 x 28-1/8 inches, framed. Excellent condition.
