About the piece
Painted in 1762 by the renowned animal painter George Stubbs, this work depicts the chestnut thoroughbred 'Lustre' being held by a groom. Set against a soft, atmospheric landscape typical of the English countryside, the painting showcases Stubbs' unparalleled anatomical accuracy and delicate handling of light and shadow, characteristic of his masterworks in the Yale Center for British Art collection.
