As the presence of the finely dressed people on the left suggests, Tattersall’s was an upmarket London auction house for horses, handling the sale of racehorses, hunters, and gentlemen’s carriage horses. The firm was founded in the eighteenth century; its original premises were at Hyde Park Corner, although by Bevan’s time it had moved to the Albert Gate, Knightsbridge, taking with it the statue of a fox under a cupola that had become its trademark. Bevan was a familiar sight at the horse auctions. His son recalled that he always looked at home there, and “rather relished looking like a man who had more to do with horses and hounds than with canvas and paint.”
