This chestnut warmblood — call him Copper — was painted in 2016 as part of Rolf Stenberg’s hand-painting development work. The original photograph included a rider in full competition tack; removing them completely to produce a clean, unencumbered portrait was the exercise, and the horse’s natural presence made it worth the effort.
The piece stands as a working example of what a pure equine commission can look like when there is nothing in the frame but the horse itself.
