We are fortunate to have acquired from different vendors a very appealing and diverse collection of outstanding works, almost all of which have gone through the OSG's hands over the past 40 years.
The paintings are all works by artists that we respect and admire enormously. We are delighted through this online exhibition to be reunited with them and their stunning works.
All can be viewed, by appointment at our Belgravia office.

Raoul Millais (1901-1999)
Raoul Millais, the grandson of John Everett Millais, was a well-regarded equestrian and sporting artist of the 20th century. A contemporary of Munnings, he was a fierce opponent to Modernism which he called ‘the Picasso lark’. In protest to the colourful planes of cubism, Millais’ paintings instead reflect a dramatic romanticism. Dominant patches of light and shadow highlight his focus, whilst each canvas is filled with a dynamic atmosphere and energetic subject. -

Hubert de Watrigant
B. 1954Hubert de Watrigant was born and brought up in South West France where his father bred and trained racehorses. He inherited natural artistic talent from his maternal great grandmother, a landscape artist in the nineteenth century, and his paternal great uncle. The de Watrigant family had an inbred passion for horses and it was natural, therefore, that his artistic career should begin by sketching horses in his father’s stables. In 1976 de Watrigant decided to become a full-time professional artist, holding his first one man exhibition at Maisons-Lafitte. In 1977 he entered Les Sept Collines de Rome exhibition. He won first prize.
His career was helped at the start by his family contacts in the racing world, but the quality of his work was such that he soon became recognised as one of France’s leading equestrian artists. As testament to his talent his work now features in numerous private and public collections in England, Japan and the Emirates. Private collectors include Her Majesty The Queen, as well as many of the leading connoisseurs of equestrian art, including Baron Guy de Rothschild, the late Stavros Niarchos and the late Daniel Wildenstein. In America he has been commissioned by a number of stud farms including Spendthrift Farm, Gainesway and Calumet.
De Watrigant uses a wide range of materials including charcoal, pastels, watercolour and oils and works on many different surfaces. His draughtsmanship is outstanding and he has a remarkable ability to capture both the ambience of his subjects and the drama of a fleeting moment.
