About the piece

Painted in 1786 by George Stubbs, the preeminent master of animal portraiture, this work depicts a saddled bay hunter with remarkable anatomical precision. Set against a soft, atmospheric landscape with a towering tree and distant river, the piece captures the quiet dignity of the animal in the classic English sporting tradition.
