Yeats: A Catalogue Raisonné of the Oil Paintings, Andre Deutsh, London, 1992, Vol. I, page 78, catalogue no. 91 (illustrated in black and white) Fresh Horses depicts a night-time scene of a well-dressed horseman bringing out new animals. These are intended for an unseen cart that has stopped temporarily for this purpose on its long excursion. The freshness of the horses is evident from their prancing legs and the frisky movement of their heads. This is especially obvious in that of the brown horse whose upturned eye reflects a night-time light and on whose rein the man has a firm hold. (The same light is reflected on the nose and body of the dun (beige) horse and on the jacket of the man, uniting the group and suggesting their vivid intrusion into the peaceful evening). The experienced coachman in his black cap and white muffler contrasts with the horses in his steady gait. The dramatic cut-off composition adds a note of modernity as well as elevating the sense of forward movement. The long empty road leading across a barren landscape behind the group suggests the long journey ahead and the ordeal of nocturnal travel. But the particular austere nature of the landscape dominated by the broad expanse of sky, also evokes the peculiar nature of coastal Mayo where sea and sky constantly intrude into the land. Hilary Pyle has traced Fresh Horses to an earlier drawing in one of Yeats's sketchbooks dating to 1905 when the artist was travelling in north Mayo in the company of J. M. Synge. The drawing is inscribed 'Changing Horses on the way to Belmullet'. Yeats referred to another sketch from this visit to Belmullet in his creation of The Country Shop (1912, National Gallery of Ireland). The experience of visiting this region was clearly very memorable and important to him. Yeats's interest in horses is evident from other paintings of this period including The Circus Wagon (1912, Private Collection), that shows the night-time arrival of a horse-driven coach into a sleeping town. The composition of Fresh Horses is however more intimate and more focused on the relationship between the animals and their minder. The painting has a very prestigious provenance. Having been acquired by the Dublin gallerist and admirer of Yeats's work, Leo Smith, it was subsequently owned by the collector and barrister, Richard MacGonigal and by the distinguished stage and screen actor, Peter O'Toole. 1.
