Notes

Munnings was perhaps the best known British horse painter of the 20th century, renowned for his hunting and racing pictures. Here he captures the sense of occasion and excitement as Romany families arrive for Derby week at Epsom Downs. Munnings had a respect for the Romany culture whose love of horses matched his own.
