It's not a painting; it's a print.
The original painting was in oils (and in colour). It was last sold at Sotheby's New York saleroom in 2005. It's title is actually 'Pick-a-back'.
The name 'Gee Up' was used when a print of the painting appeared in Weldon's Illustrated Dressmaker in 1911.
Such prints are virtually worthless. For example, a copy was sold at Bonhams last February. It was accompanied by 10 other prints and etchings. The price paid (for all 11 items) was just �14.
