Stubbs: Portrait of a Horse

A monumental painting of a rearing horse will go on display this spring, in a new National Gallery exhibition devoted to George Stubbs (1724–1806). The only life-size horse portrait by Stubbs still in a private collection, and only once before seen on public display, ‘Scrub, a bay horse belonging to the Marquess of Rockingham’ (about 1762) will be joined in the exhibition by other paintings and works on paper by the artist.
