More about this artwork

The painting "Foxhound" by George Stubbs depicts a single hound in a natural landscape. The dog is large and predominantly white with distinctive black markings and a brownish face. It is shown in mid-movement, with its body arched gracefully, sniffing the ground. This posture along with its sharp, attentive eyes suggests it might be tracking a scent.The background of the painting features a muted, somewhat somber landscape. To the left, there are dark, leafy trees under a cloudy sky, potentially indicating wooded hunting grounds. The horizon transitions into a lighter, misty area that might be sky meeting water, adding depth and contrast to the scene.Stubbs, renowned for his meticulous animal studies, captures not only the physical accuracy of the hound with fine detail and realistic coloring but also conveys a sense of the animal's behavior and environment. The painting reflects Stubbs' ability to illustrate the natural grace and functionality of animals, here emphasizing the foxhound's role and skill in hunting through its focused demeanor and robust physique.

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.
