Description:

Exercising, Russley Park Oil on board, 16" x 24" In February of 1919 Lady Norman, a trustee of the Imperial War Museum, commissioned Kemp-Welch to paint the Russley Park Remount Depot in Wiltshire. The remount depots were used as training facilities for horses that were to be ridden into battle by the British Army. The remount stations were operated by some 200 female volunteers and played a vital role in the war efforts. The present work is a sketch of Kemp-Welch's and depicts the female trainers out for exercise in Russley Park.
