About the piece

Created in 1762, this portrait by George Stubbs reflects the artist's pioneering approach to equine anatomy, which he studied through extensive dissection. The stallion Pangloss is presented in a clean, side-on profile against a minimalist background, focusing the viewer's attention on the subtle play of light across the horse's muscular frame.
