About the piece

Created around 1770, this painting by George Stubbs depicts a quiet pause following a hunt. Known for his incredible anatomical precision, Stubbs places the hunters and their dogs beneath a gnarled, massive canopy, using the dark forest tones to highlight the dignity of the subjects and the stillness of the English countryside.
