Richard Dodd Widdas - THE DERBY OF 1870
Est: $6,000 - $8,000
Oil on canvas Signed, dated 1870-71. Provenance: Rutland Gallery The Derby of 1870 was won by Kingcraft, owned and bred by Lord Falmouth at his stud at Mereworth Castle in Kent. Kingcraft won 10 races during his career, including the Chesterfield Stakes, the Ham Stakes, the Convivial Stakes, and the Derby Stakes at Epsom. The Derby of this year has not been excelled by any of its predecessors. The day was fine, the crowds immense, the race exciting and closely contested, and the result unexpected. Present on the grand stand were the Prince and Princess of Wales and Prince Leopold and the King of Belgium, attended by a large and brilliant throng of the nobility and aristocracy of the kingdom; also, many members of Parliament, Cabinet Ministers, representatives of the Bench, and persons eminent in all departments of public life. The excitement of the spectators was wrought up to its highest pitch by the appearance of the 15 horses entered for the race. Macgregor, the favorite, was tremendously cheered. All being ready, a good start was obtained, and the horses dashed away. As Macgregor began to fall behind the greatest astonishment was manifested. When Kingcraft took the lead, the excitement was intense, and reached its height when he came in winner, with Palmerston, second, and Muster, close behind, third. The race was run in 2:45. The value of the stakes is ¬£4,100. Matthew Dawson, the trainer of the winner, was also warmly congratulated on having trained his second Derby winner. Directly after the race was over, a drenching shower fell, but it soon cleared up, and the remainder of the day was beautiful. It is calculated there were over 300,000 people present on the Downs. The winner of the Derby is a bright bay colt, standing rather under fifteen hands and three inches in height, and is very handsome all over. It would be difficult to find fault with his con- tour, the only possible exception that could be taken being on the score of his being somewhat light of bone. He was bred by his present owner, Lord Falmouth. - New York Herald, June 4, 1870 Richard Dodd Widdas (British, 1826-1885)

Richard Dodd Widdas, The Highwaymen
Est: £300 - £400
Richard Dodd Widdas, British 1826-1885- The Highwaymen; oil on canvas, signed and dated 'R. D. Widdas / 1884.' (lower right), 40 x 64.2 cm. Provenance: Anon. sale, Sotheby's, Chester, 15 January 1987, lot 3215. Private Collection, UK. Note: Widdas lived and worked in Hull, which surely inspired his maritime scenes, some of which are held at the Hull Maritime Museum and Ferens Art Gallery. Nevertheless, Widdas's preferred subject was undoubtedly that of coaching scenes, allowing him to exhibit his skill in the depiction of horses in various states of motion. The present work is a particularly dramatic example of the subject, illustrating the danger of travelling by coach under the threat of the highwayman, a figure which has long been romanticised and almost mythologised. Indeed, Widdas's scene places the bandits as the central figures in the action, establishing an affinity and sympathy between the highwaymen and the viewer, whilst their victims form an indistinct and undefined mass towards the background.
