'Epsom - Derby Day' painted by Jane Braithwaite SEA Oil on linen canvas | 74 cm x 107 cm (29 inches x 42 inches) | Impressionist, framed in distressed silver wood with slip.
Jane Braithwaite’s Epsom – Derby Day brims with that charged, anticipatory energy unique to the Downs before the big race. The horses stand poised and gleaming, jockeys in bright silks creating sharp notes of colour against the open sky, while the bustle of officials and onlookers hints at the spectacle about to unfold. Braithwaite balances formality and excitement beautifully—the scene feels both ceremonial and alive, a moment suspended just before the thunder of the start.
