Among the works that the Old Master picture dealership Galerie de Bayser, a Fine Arts Paris regular, will be showing at the fair is this equestrian portrait by Jean-Léon Gerome (1824-1904) of the famous thoroughbred Dollar.
The 15 x 18¼in (38 x 46.5cm) oil on canvas, which is signed JL Gerome lower left, is also inscribed upper right in capitals with the horse’s name – suggesting that the work was painted by the artist in situ in 1868, not in the studio.
