Before the Race Original Framed Equestrian Painting by Dana Gibson
Available to Ship: 3-7 Business Days
Before the Race is a one-of-a-kind original equestrian painting by Dana Gibson, depicting a thoroughbred on race day. Framed at an intimate scale, it brings the long decorative tradition of sporting pictures into a room without requiring a grand country-house setting.
The horse and racing subject gives it natural character for a library, hall, study, bedroom, or layered gallery wall, particularly among landscapes, portraits, architectural drawings, and other collected works.
“Equestrian pictures have a wonderful way of making a room feel lived in and collected. I would hang this beside books, a small landscape, or an old family photograph and let the different stories gather together. Its modest scale makes it especially easy to tuck into a wall that has evolved over time.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Maker / Heritage
Dana Gibson is a Virginia artist whose paintings move easily between botanicals, still lifes, portraits, sporting scenes, and coastal subjects, all with a confident eye for color and decorative composition. Painting is part of a family artistic lineage: her great-grandfather was Charles Dana Gibson, the renowned illustrator and creator of the Gibson Girl. Dana’s own work carries that inheritance forward through a distinctly personal, lively approach to familiar subjects.
