Investigators from the Art Loss Register have successfully returned this missing oil painting to its rightful owner, after it appeared in a catalogue for a New York auction house.
The painting, entitled Major Henry Bullock on his bay hunter, disappeared from a London art gallery in March 1977.
The 37cm by 48cm panel is signed by the artist John Frederick Herring and is dated 1834.
It was insured with Equitas, the Lloyd's rrunn-off vehicle for pre-1992 liabilities, for between £16,000 and £23,000.
The painting was spotted by ALR investigators in January and has since been restituted to its owner.
The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
