This is the work of Charles "Snaffles" Johnson Payne, an English painter known for his humorous work and for his outstanding draughtsmanship and depiction of the horse in action. Snaffles specialised in water colours and drawings sold as prints which, at least initially, were hand-coloured by the artist and his sisters.
