Recto: Signed and dated lower right: R. Eurich 1949

Aka: The White Horse, Kilburn, Yorkshire; The White Horse, Kilburn, Yorks [Redfern]

20th September 1949: To Kilburn (Yorkshire)… “got further ideas for painting of ‘White Horse’. Some trees in the foreground, and paint it broadly on a large scale. Mostly grey but a bit flat like a wall painting.”

RE diary entry

There are some uncertainties in the provenance of this painting because the details of 'The White Horse, Kilburn, Yorkshire' (1949) - 101.5 x 127 cm - and The White Horse After Rain (1950) aka 'The White Horse, Kilburn, Yorkshire, After Rain' - 40.6 x 50.8 cm -  may have been merged in the records.

REP

Richard's daughter Caroline remarked on seeing the gallery opening photo below:

I remember this large picture of the white horse. For a while it hung in my bedroom at Appletreewick, next to my bed, and I often banged my head on its frame!
