John Cordrey (British c. 1765-1825) Coach and horses Oil on canvas Signed and dated 1812 lower left 53 x 92cm (20¾ x 36 in.) The present work is a typical example of Cordrey's work. He produced numerous depictions of horses and carriages ranging from smart society carriages to mail carriages. Little is known about the man himself, even his birth and death dates are not certain and although it is assumed he lived somewhere in the London region, this is deduced purely through his artistic output.
