About the piece

Painted in 1769 by George Stubbs, this refined oil painting captures the elegance of British country life. Two figures are poised at the edge of a woodland, accompanied by their hunting dogs, as one takes aim at a bird silhouetted against an atmospheric, clouded sky. Stubbs' legendary precision in anatomical detail is visible in the naturalistic rendering of the human figures and the alert posture of the pointers.
