Object History
Purchased with another equine portrait by Thomas Balcombe, Old Jorrocks (Age 16) (ML1408), from Sullivan + Strumpf Fine Art, February 2008. The provenance of the works is given as the Jardine family of Queensland, perhaps descendants of brothers Frank and Alexander Jardine who settled in Cape York in 1864.
