Oil on canvas of the Durham Ox famous in the early 19th century for its shape, size and weight, and a early example of the Shorthorn breed of cattle.
The Durham Ox was born in March 1796 and was bred by Charles Colling of Ketton Hall, Brafferton, near Darlington .
In 1801 the ox was sold to John Day of Harmston, near Lincoln. Day renamed it the Durham Ox and had a carriage specially made to transport it, drawn by four horses. For the next five years it toured with him around England and Scotland, exhibited to the public at agricultural fairs and other events. It proved extremely popular. For most of 1802 the Durham Ox was on show in London,
