More about this artwork

This painting by George Stubbs, titled "The Third Duke Of Dorset's Hunter with a Groom and a Dog," captures a serene rural scene dominated by the elegant figure of a hunter horse, accompanied by a groom and a dog. The setting is tranquil and richly detailed, typical of Stubbs' work, showcasing his skill in animal anatomy and pastoral landscapes.In the image, the horse stands prominently in the center, depicted with meticulous attention to muscular structure and the gleam of its chestnut coat, reflecting Stubbs' deep understanding of equine anatomy. The horse's pose is relaxed yet alert, with its head turned slightly towards the groom, suggesting a bond or an interaction between the animal and the man.To the left, under a large tree that anchors the composition and adds a sense of depth and shelter, sits the groom. He is dressed in a blue jacket with a red collar, traditional attire for a stableman of that era, and he appears relaxed, resting while holding the reins of the horse. Beside him, attentively seated, is a black dog, contributing to the domestic and loyal ambiance of the scene.The background reveals a softly undulating landscape under a sky that suggests either early morning or late afternoon, with cumulus clouds that add a dynamic texture to the sky.

George Stubbs (25 August 1724 – 10 July 1806) was an English painter, best known for his paintings of horses. Self-trained, Stubbs learnt his skills independently from other great artists of the 18th century such as Reynolds and Gainsborough. Stubbs' output includes history paintings, but his greatest skill was in painting animals, perhaps influenced by his love and study of anatomy. His series of paintings on the theme of a lion attacking a horse are early and significant examples of the Romantic movement that emerged in the late 18th century. He enjoyed royal patronage. His painting, Whistlejacket hangs in the National Gallery, London.
