Nicholas Winfield Scott Leighton (1849-1898) A pupil of Harrison Bird Brown, the American artist Nicholas Winfield Scott Leighton was initially trained as a landscape painter but is primarily known for his images of animals, particularly thoroughbred racing horses. He funded his artistic education in Portland, Maine by rearing and trading horses, a job which gave him an intimate knowledge of equine anatomy that later manifested itself in his paintings. Leighton eventually settled in Boston, where he established a studio and continued to execute equestrian paintings, many of which were published as prints by Currier & Ives. During the 1880's, he exhibited his works at the prestigious National Academy of Design. Please don’t confuse our low starting bid or discounted price with the actual value of the piece.
