The Red Prince Mare dates from 1921 and is one of Munnings’ most impressive and significant compositions.
The painting depicts Violet Munnings’ mare, Rosemary, being saddled before a point-to-point race. Rosemary was the mother of Red Prince II.
The Red Prince Mare was first sketched by Munnings in the paddock of the point-to-point course. Munnings then expanded and finished this final composition in his studio at Castle House, although the sky was painted directly from nature, as was his custom. In his memoirs, Munnings describe the moment he rendered the sky noting: ‘I remember clearly the February morning and weather conditions which were making skies. Leaving what I was doing, I seized the opportunity; painting a sky happening at the moment, not touching it again’.
