Artwork Description
A young rider sits atop a horse, looking towards a destination we can only imagine. In Harness, Lisette Forsyth captures a moment filled with possibility. Painted onto an original 1860 Government Gazette, the work speaks to themes of journey, aspiration and the quiet confidence that comes from moving forward with purpose.
The historical document beneath the image adds another layer to the narrative. Once used to record the affairs of a growing colony, it now serves as the backdrop to a deeply personal story. Forsyth's expressive handling of the horse and rider creates a sense of movement and optimism, while the aged paper reminds us that every journey is part of a much larger story.
Lisette Forsyth is renowned for her ability to breathe new life into historical maps, newspapers and archival documents. Measuring 35 x 47 cm framed, Harness is a unique original artwork that speaks to adventure, determination and the enduring bond between horse and rider.
