Discover the story of Horse Nurse with the Arab Horse Lord Grosvenor by George Stubbs

Horse Nurse with the Arab Horse Lord Grosvenor is one of George Stubbs's most intimate and refined equestrian portraits, painted around 1765. It depicts a groom — known as a 'horse nurse' — tenderly attending to the magnificent Arab stallion owned by Lord Grosvenor, one of the most celebrated racehorse owners of 18th-century England. Stubbs was fascinated by the relationship between humans and horses, and this painting captures that quiet bond with extraordinary sensitivity and precision. The Arab horse itself was a prized animal, renowned for its speed, grace, and noble temperament. Stubbs studied equine anatomy with scientific rigour — even dissecting horses to perfect his understanding of their form — and every muscle and curve in this painting reflects that dedication. It remains one of his most admired works among horse lovers and art collectors alike.
