Presentation to the Countess of Yarborough of an equestrian portrait of her Ladyship..., 1864. Creator: Unknown
Presentation to the Countess of Yarborough of an equestrian portrait of her Ladyship by the gentlemen of the Brocklesby Hunt, 1864. 'A gratifying testimonial of public and private respect has recently been made to the Countess of Yarborough at Brocklesby Hall, Lincolnshire. Both the Earl and the Countess enjoy the pleasures of the chase, and, it being their delight that others should participate in the amusement, the Brocklesby hunt is kept up with the prestige which has always rendered it famous among the packs of England...The portrait is of life size, the picture measuring 10 ft. by 6 ft. The Countess is represented on her favourite hunter Brilliant, with two favourite hounds, named Gambler and Charity, at its feet. It is a striking and pleasing likeness, and was executed by F. Grant, Esq., at a cost of five hundred guineas...Mr. Joseph Kirkham, the secretary to the committee, who has been indefatigable in carrying out the presentation, read, on behalf of the subscribers, an address to her Ladyship..."I shall always value it," said her Ladyship, "as a work of art; but it is still dearer to me as a mark of the love and good-feeling existing between us".' From "Illustrated London News", 1864
