George Stubbs (1724-1806)
William Anderson with two Saddle-Horses Signed and dated 1793
RCIN 400106
A well-stocked mews provided its owner with a ‘string’ of horses, like a relay race. A fresh horse is here brought along by the Prince of Wales’s Head Groom, ready for when the Prince’s current mount tires. We must imagine the Prince himself to be riding in front, just outside Stubbs’s field of vision.
