More about this artwork

George Morland’s evocative artwork "Groom Rubbing Down a Horse" from the year 1792 masterfully captures a serene moment of pastoral life. This etching portrays a stable scene where a groom, focused and diligent, is tending to a robust horse. The groom, depicted in a natural pose, exerts his strength to groom the horse with care, emphasizing the close relationship between human and animal.In the foreground, a content dog adds to the tranquil rural atmosphere, observing the scene lazily. The artist's skill in rendering the textures of the horse’s skin and the groom's rustic attire enriches the overall tactile experience of the artwork. The trees in the background, partially visible, suggest a secluded setting, further highlighting the intimate act of caring between the groom and the horse.This piece is a superb example of Morland's ability to depict everyday rural activities with a sense of immediacy and emotional depth.

George Morland (26 June 1763 – 29 October 1804) was an English painter. His early work was influenced by Francis Wheatley, but after the 1790s he came into his own style. His best compositions focus on rustic scenes: farms and hunting; smugglers and gypsies; and rich, textured landscapes informed by Dutch Golden Age painting.
