Title - The Belvoir Point-to-Point Meeting on Barrowby Hill(1922)

Artist - Sir Alfred James Munnings

The artwork captures the essence of a point-to-point horse racing event on Barrowby Hill, associated with the Belvoir Hunt. Point-to-point races are amateur cross-country horse racing events traditionally linked to fox hunting communities in the United Kingdom. Munnings, renowned for his equestrian art, often depicted horses and riders in profile, aligning with the conventions of sporting art.

In this composition, Munnings portrays the anticipation and excitement preceding a race. The painting features a group of jockeys and their mounts preparing for the event, set against the rolling landscape of Barrowby Hill. Munnings' use of vibrant colors and dynamic brushwork conveys movement and the lively atmosphere of the gathering.
