Jacinth Filly Brook Stud Cheveley By Peter Biegel
Peter Biegel (1913–1987): “Sketches, ‘Jacinth’ 1973 — A Commemorative Portrait of Lady Butt’s Champion Filly of Brook Stud, Cheveley”
Original Oil on Canvas — Signed and Dated 1973
Presented in the original gilt frame with engraved brass plaque
A Celebrated Equestrian Portrait by Peter Biegel
Offered here is a rare and spirited original oil painting by the distinguished British sporting artist Peter Biegel, titled “Sketches, ‘Jacinth’ 1973.”
This exceptional work captures multiple studies of the celebrated filly Jacinth, one of the defining racehorses of early 1970s Britain.
Executed during her Classic season, this painting epitomises Biegel’s hallmark blend of technical mastery, movement, and atmosphere — qualities that made him the successor to Britain’s great sporting art tradition.
Subject & Medium
The painting commemorates Jacinth (1970–1992) — Lady Butt’s champion filly of Brook Stud, Cheveley.
Foaled in Ireland by Red God (by Nasrullah) out of Jaffa (by Right Royal), Jacinth was bred by bookmaker William Hill and trained by Bruce Hobbs.
Her illustrious career included:
1972 Cheveley Park Stakes Winner — Britain’s Top Two-Year-Old Filly (Timeform 133)
1973 Coronation Stakes (Royal Ascot) — Winner
1973 Falmouth Stakes (Newmarket) — Winner
Runner-up in the 1,000 Guineas and Sussex Stakes
After retirement, she became a valuable broodmare at Brook Stud, continuing the distinguished Butt family breeding line.
Medium:
Oil on Winsor & Newton “HERGA” prepared canvas, stamped on the reverse “HERGA – Prepared by Winsor & Newton, London.”
Presented in its original gilt frame with an engraved brass plaque listing Jacinth’s 1972–73 racing record — a hallmark of authenticity and period presentation.
Composition & Technique
Biegel’s “Sketches, ‘Jacinth’” is composed in his signature “sketch montage” format, an artistic device he perfected to capture motion, anatomy, and personality within one unified composition.
Across the canvas, he presents several views of Jacinth — head studies, galloping poses, and static outlines — which together convey a living portrait of power and grace.
The artist employs a warm and naturalistic palette of golden umbers, chestnut browns, ivory whites, and muted greens, offset by soft blue-grey tones suggesting an open racing landscape.
Light impasto highlights along the musculature and flanks enhance the sense of movement, while delicate brushwork around the eyes and muzzle captures Jacinth’s alert, intelligent expression.
The fluid, expressive strokes in the background suggest air and motion, while the finer, controlled detailing on the horse’s form demonstrates Biegel’s exceptional understanding of equine anatomy.
This combination of painterly freedom and disciplined drawing creates an image both energetic and elegant — a masterclass in portraying equine vitality and refinement.
Signature
The painting is signed “Peter Biegel” lower left and inscribed upper left with the title and date:
“Sketches, ‘Jacinth’ 1973.”
The confident, flowing signature is characteristic of Biegel’s hand during the 1970s and provides full assurance of authenticity.
About the Artist
Peter Biegel (1913–1987) ranks among the leading British sporting artists of the 20th century.
A pupil of Lucy Kemp-Welch — famed for her work on “War Horse” and the Newlyn School — Biegel absorbed her disciplined approach to anatomy and movement, later developing a more expressive, modern style uniquely his own.
He became a favourite of racing patrons, aristocratic families, and equestrian enthusiasts, receiving numerous private commissions from owners and breeders across the United Kingdom.
Biegel’s works are admired for their lively draughtsmanship, atmospheric colour, and acute observation of character, both equine and human.
His paintings appeared in major British sporting exhibitions and now feature in prestigious collections, including:
The National Horseracing Museum, Newmarket
The National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, Saratoga Springs, NY
Various private collections throughout Britain and the United States
Today, Biegel’s art is considered among the most collectible of post-war British sporting painters — admired for combining classical training, modern vitality, and emotional resonance.
Frame
Presented in its original gilt frame, moulded and finished with a brass plaque engraved with Jacinth’s 1972–73 racing record, and fitted with a front protective glass cover.
The frame’s soft gold tones complement the painting’s earthy palette and evoke the elegance of its era.
Ready to hang — a perfect period presentation.
