George Stubbs
Artwork Detail
This delightful study demonstrates all the animation and keen observation of anatomy that was so particular to George Stubbs' oeuvre. While only a working sketch, it shows similarities in part to the lurcher depicted in Hound hunting a stag,1769 (private collection, United States), although here the demise of the animal is not inevitable - the hare may very well escape. Rather, it is a study of movement, the determined darting action of the hare suggesting it may avoid the lurcher's grasp.
