Stubbs's most stately aristocratic equestrian portrait — the Georgian passion for the horse woven into a sock unlike any other.

The Third Duke of Dorset's Hunter with a Groom and a Dog by George Stubbs is one of the most elegant and refined equestrian portraits in British art, painted around 1768. It depicts the prized hunter of John Frederick Sackville, the Third Duke of Dorset — one of the great aristocratic patrons of 18th-century England — attended by a groom and accompanied by a dog in a serene parkland setting. Stubbs places the horse at the very centre of the composition, elevating it to the status of a portrait subject in its own right. A painting that speaks directly to anyone who understands and loves horses. Now woven into every stitch of this extraordinary sock.

Discover the story of White Horse Frightened by a Lion by George Stubbs

White Horse Frightened by a Lion is one of George Stubbs's most dramatic and emotionally charged masterpieces, painted in 1770. It depicts a magnificent white horse rearing up in terror as a lion attacks from behind — a scene of raw power, fear, and untamed nature that Stubbs returned to many times throughout his career. Stubbs was fascinated by this primal confrontation between horse and lion, and produced over a dozen variations of the theme. The paintings are thought to reflect both his scientific interest in animal anatomy and a deeper fascination with the forces of nature and the sublime. The white horse — rearing, vulnerable, yet magnificent — has become one of the most iconic images in British art. Today versions of this painting can be found in the collections of the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven.
