A couple of Foxhounds by George Stubbs

A couple of Foxhounds by George Stubbs, 1762

Original Size: 50 x 40"

The hound and bitch shown here against an imaginary landscape have been harmoniously balanced to form a deceptively simple composition. This pair are engaged in almost human interaction which is unlike Stubbs’s earlier paintings of foxhounds that tended to be more formally posed.

The picture was probably commissioned by the Reverend Thomas Vyner of Lincolnshire, an avid sportsman and an expert at breeding hounds. The foxhounds were probably bred from the 1st Earl of Yarborough’s famous Brocklesby pack.
