* ATTRIBUTED TO JOHN BOULTBEE (1753-1812) ROBERT BAKEWELL`S BLACK CART-HORSE STALLION DISHLEY GRANGE BEYOND with inscription THE CELEBRATED CART HORSE PROPERTY OF MR BAKEWELL OF DISHLEY 1790., 62 x 75cm Provenance: (according to an old label on the stretcher) Mrs J S Bakewell and her son, Capt Robert Harrison Bakewell. Illustrated: Moncrieff (E) and S & I Joseph, Farm Animal Portraits, Woodbridge 1996, col plt 297. Exhibited: (possibly) Royal Academy, 1788, No 102 (`Portrait of a Favourite Horse of Mr Bakewell). Engraved: Francis Jukes (1745-1812) (`Portrait of a Horse Six Years Old. The Property of Mr Bakewell of Dishley`). Even before Bakewell`s time, the area of N W Leicestershire was notable for its fine black cart horse stallions. Determined to improve the breed, Bakewell toured Flanders and Holland, purchasing several West Friedland mares which according to Pitt (General View of the Agriculture of ... Leicester, 1809) "excelled in those points wherein he thought his own horses defective... he produced some capital horses, in particular his famous horse Gee, the noblest and most complete and beautiful creature of his kind that had been see in Europe... for a time he was the first subject of conversation... he was taken to Tattersall`s and shown to the nobility and gentry with great approbation; Mr Bakewell had the honour of showing him personally to his Majesty [King George III]." Bakewell`s cart horses soon became a familiar sight on farms, further selection resulting in the distinctive characteristics of the Shire Horse. Sadly Gee met with an untimely end, being killed by lightning in his pasture at Dishley. ++Restored and relined in recent years.
