John Sargent Noble (1848-1896). Oil painting on canvas, 'The First Leap': Lord Alexander Russell (1821-1907), on his pony 'Emerald' (after Landseer ) by John Sargent Noble (1848-1896), circa 1860. A view of a boy, with a whip in his right hand, on a pony jumping over a log into a field with goat and her two kids in a landscape. This is a copy of Sir Edwin Henry Landseer's 1829 painting, 'The First Leap' of Lord Alexander Russell, on his pony 'Emerald', probably at his father's (John Russell, 6th Duke of Bedford 1766-1839) lodge in Glen Feshie in the Cairngorms, 1829.
