Folk Art Painting of a Grey Horse on Canvas by Matt Rix

This charming folk art painting by British artist Matt Rix depicts a poised grey horse in his distinctive naïve style. Set on simple brown ground beneath a soft grey-blue sky, the composition conveys quiet dignity and timeless appeal. The horse’s cropped black mane and tail subtly reference 19th-century grooming traditions, echoing classic rural portraiture.

Painted on canvas, the piece is presented in a hand-painted black wooden frame that enhances its rustic character. The reverse is lined with antique papers, adding texture, history, and authenticity. Ready to hang, it offers a nostalgic yet striking addition to any interior.

Rix is an emerging British folk artist known for his original naïve works featuring animals, portraits, and maritime scenes, collected worldwide.

Measuring approximately 13" x 11", this is a beautifully balanced example of his work.
