'By A Nose' painted by Richard Thackham Oil on linen canvas | 59 cm x 69 cm (23 inches x 27 inches) | Framed tray style in matt black wood.
Richard Thackham’s By a Nose captures the split‑second drama of a race decided in the final stride. The horse is stretched to full extension, muscles taut, while the jockey leans low in a determined drive for the line. Thackham’s loose, energetic brushwork and vivid colours heighten the sense of speed, giving the whole scene a breathless, edge‑of‑victory tension.
