George Stubbs (entourage)
George Stubbs, born August 25, 1724 in Liverpool and died July 10, 1806 in London, was a British painter and engraver. Nicknamed "the painter of horses", Stubbs was highly regarded for his keen sense of observation and detail.
Our painting depicts a mare and her foal in a beautiful English countryside setting,
We can appreciate the purity of the composition, the unusual colors, very bright and harmonious at the same time.
A magpie adds a touch of gaiety and mischief, as might the foal.
In the background is a meadow with other horses.
The tree adds height to the composition and accentuates the perspective.
