John Frederick Herring junior: the eldest surviving son of John Frederick Herring, senior (1795-1865) by whom he was greatly influenced. This is seen in his equestrian and farmyard scenes. The similarity is so marked that Junior did not start to exhibit at the Royal Academy until 1863 so as to avoid comparisons with his father.
The work of Herring junior is held at the British Sporting Art Trust at Newmarket.
