Pulling Up at York painted by Jane Braithwaite SEA 2025 Oil on canvas | 50 cm x 70 cm (20 inches x 28 inches) | framed in dull gold wood | Impressionist
This evocative composition shows a group of racehorses pulling up in the aftermath of a major race at York Racecourse. Riders ease their mounts as the grandstands loom behind, filled with spectators still buzzing from the climax of the contest. Braithwaite’s impressionist touch captures the raw energy, relief, and subtle shift from motion to stillness in the heart of a great racing venue.
