Writer. Revolutionary. Member of Parliament. The man who introduced the word "ranch" to the English language. And here he is on a horse.
R.B. Cunninghame Graham was one of the most extraordinary figures of the Victorian and Edwardian era — Scottish aristocrat, South American gaucho, socialist agitator, and close friend of both Lavery and Joseph Conrad. Lavery painted him around 1898, astride Pampa — a horse he had rescued from a Glasgow tramline and ridden back to something close to its original dignity. The portrait is intimate and sketch-like, giving equal standing to rider and horse, painted with the warmth of a man who genuinely liked both of them.
The grand salon version hangs in Buenos Aires. This is the painting Lavery made first, for himself.
Sir John Lavery (1856–1941) was born in Belfast, trained in Glasgow and Paris, and became one of the most celebrated painters of his era. His work is hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland, the Tate, and major collections worldwide.
