GEORGE STUBBS (1724-1806)

The Prince of Wales's Phaeton

Signed and dated 1793

RCIN 400994

The phaeton was the sports car of its day: a light, open, owner-driven two-horse carriage, with state-of-the-art suspension. This one is to be drawn by two sleek black horses in matching colours. The fine equipage tells us that its owner – the Prince of Wales – is a man of fashion and discernment.
