His works spanned various mediums, from oil on canvas to enamel on Wedgwood plaque. One of his notable pieces is "Eclipse, a Dark Chestnut Racehorse held by a Groom, with a Jockey, " painted in 1781. In this artwork, Stubbs showcases his mastery in depicting the strength and elegance of horses. Stubbs also delved into portraying human subjects in his paintings. "Labourers" is an example of such work, created in 1781. This piece highlights the everyday lives of working-class individuals during that era. In addition to these captivating artworks, Stubbs ventured into capturing landscapes as well. "Two Gentlemen Going a Shooting, with a View of Creswell Crags" provides viewers with both the thrill of hunting and the breathtaking scenery surrounding them. One particularly intriguing painting by Stubbs is "Cheetah and Stag with two Indians. " Painted around 1765, this masterpiece combines exotic wildlife with indigenous people from India. Aside from being an exceptional painter, George Stubbs himself became immortalized through various portraits and photographs taken throughout his life. A black-and-white photograph captures him as George Stubbs Esq. , RA - showcasing his status as a respected member of the Royal Academy. A graphite portrait drawn on cream wove paper depicts him more intimately - revealing details about his appearance on February 22nd, 1794. Engravings were also made based on some of Stubbs' most famous works like "Marske" or "A Horse Frightened by a Lion. " These engravings allowed for wider distribution and appreciation of his art beyond those who could afford original paintings. Stubbs' legacy continues to live on through timeless artworks like "Stallion and Mare, " commonly referred to as Jupiter and Mare - exemplifying his ability to capture the grace and power of horses.
