About the piece
Painted around 1780, this work by George Stubbs captures the quiet elegance of late 18th-century English country life. A pair of cream-colored ponies is hitched to a light phaeton carriage, attended by a young stable-lad and a small dog against a backdrop of deep, atmospheric woodland and a distant peak. Renowned for his unparalleled anatomical precision, Stubbs renders the horses with a dignified realism that makes this a quintessential piece of British sporting art.
