Hutton-Clarke Antiques is delighted to offer this exceptional Victorian decoupage of "Derby Day" by the renowned artist George Cruikshank, beautifully presented in a fine birdseye maple frame.

This highly detailed and animated composition captures the excitement and spectacle of the Epsom Derby, one of Britain’s most celebrated horse-racing events. Cruikshank’s signature satirical style brings to life a fascinating array of characters, each meticulously labelled to depict the social mix of the racecourse—from elegant spectators and enthusiastic gamblers to lively entertainers and opportunists.

The artwork is arranged in three distinct panels:
?? "Derby Day: On the Course" – A lively scene of anticipation, featuring gathering crowds, betting activities, and social interactions.
?? "Derby Day: The Race" – A thrilling portrayal of horses galloping at full speed, with onlookers reacting in excitement and suspense.
?? "Derby Day: After the Race" – A chaotic yet humorous depiction of the aftermath, with celebrating winners, despairing losers, and carriages in disarray.

The piece is housed in an elegant birdseye maple frame, adding a touch of sophistication while complementing its historical charm. A rare and highly collectable equestrian-themed artwork, perfect for lovers of horse racing, Victorian satire, and antique sporting memorabilia.
Available now at Hutton-Clarke Antiques – a unique opportunity to own a piece of British sporting history.
