          English painter

          James Lynwood Palmer (1868–1941)[note 1] was an English painter who specialised in painting race-horses, his characteristic style showing them as nervous and highly-strung, often depicted within a background of a dramatic landscape.

          His success as a leading equestrian portrait painter of the first half of the twentieth century is represented by around eight hundred paintings that were commissioned by clients,[2] almost exclusively from private patrons, who included: William Cavendish-Bentinck, 6th Duke of Portland (1857–1943) (notably The Duke of Portland's stallions at Welbeck Stud (1900),[3]Daisy Greville, Countess of Warwick (1861–1938) and King George V (1865–1936).[4][5] He rarely exhibited his work to the public.[note 2]
