About the piece
Painted in 1765 by the renowned British artist George Stubbs, this work captures the thoroughbred 'Turf' with his jockey at the historic Newmarket racecourse. Stubbs' unparalleled understanding of equine anatomy is evident in the horse's powerful physique and luminous coat, set against a quiet landscape and the geometric lines of a track-side rubbing house.
