The artwork titled “Five Brood Mares,” created by George Stubbs, is a masterpiece rendered in oil on canvas. Stemming from the Romanticism art movement, this animal painting measures 188 cm by 99 cm. It is currently housed at Ascott House located in Wing, UK.
The composition features five majestic horses standing in a serene, pastoral landscape. Dominated by a large tree in the background, the horses are depicted with exceptional detail and naturalism, reflecting Stubbs’ renowned expertise in equine anatomy. Each horse has a distinctive posture and coloring, ranging from a light grey to deep chestnut, which harmonizes beautifully with the verdant foliage and tranquil sky. The work exudes a sense of calm and reverence for the natural world, characteristic of the Romantic period.
