Dated 19th C. Oil on Board of Horse

This 19th C. oil painting on artist board of a horse with blinders is dated 5-20-87. The back of the painting has an old obituary for the artist Charles Fromuth, a Frenchman who lived in Philadelphia and studied under Thomas Eakins. Most of Fromuth's paintings are of harbor scenes. This horse painting is an estate item and I don't know if this is an accurate attribution but the style of the artwork does suggest that Fromuth painted it. The small painting measures 8.5" x 6.5" overall in its painted olive drab frame. It has been lightly cleaned and is in fine condition.
