A little help choosing
Choosing your Stubbs painting
Whistlejacket places a single rearing horse against an uncluttered background, making its outline the focus. A Saddled Bay Hunter introduces trees, sky and a quieter pose, while Brood Mares and Foals spreads a group of animals across a wide landscape. Consider whether you want one prominent subject or a scene that draws your eye across the wall.
A Zebra brings the rhythm of a striped coat into a dark woodland setting. The Kongouro from New Holland offers a lighter sky and a different silhouette. A Lion Attacking a Horse and Horse Devoured by a Lion are more dramatic choices; compare their compositions carefully, as the similar titles describe distinct images.
Size and framing
Preserve the animal’s full outline, from ears to hooves and tail, along with the surrounding space. Whistlejacket’s plain background is part of its impact. Group scenes benefit from enough room for smaller animals and landscape details to remain clear. We can advise on listed sizes or quote for an alternative that preserves the composition and its proportions.
Our frames are handmade to order in your choice of moulding and colour finish. Antique gold or silver can complement an equestrian painting, while a contemporary painted finish offers a simpler surround. Actual Farrow & Ball shades are available, and we can help shortlist a moulding and finish for your painting and room.
Once suitable sizes and prices have been discussed, our free room mock-up service can help you compare scale and proposed framing in your own space.

About George Stubbs
English painter, 1724–1806
George Stubbs combined close observation with an understanding of anatomy to give animals a convincing physical presence. His horses have weight, balance and individuality, whether standing quietly in a landscape or rearing against a plain background. The accuracy serves the picture rather than turning it into a diagram.
Born in Liverpool in 1724, Stubbs began his career in northern England as a portrait painter with a strong interest in anatomy. He worked in York, illustrating a treatise on midwifery, before visiting Rome in 1754. In Lincolnshire he undertook the research that led to The Anatomy of the Horse, and around 1758 he moved to London.
Sporting patrons helped establish his reputation for horse portraits, but his subjects extended to people, rural life and wild animals. He also worked as a printmaker and experimented with enamel painting on Wedgwood plaques. Whistlejacket shows how he could give an individual horse the scale and attention associated with a grand portrait. His work joins careful study with a painter’s feeling for character, setting and movement.
