Painting Description
"Self-Portrait, 1781" is a notable work by the English painter George Stubbs, renowned for his exceptional depictions of horses and other animals. Born in Liverpool in 1724, Stubbs was largely self-taught, and his profound understanding of anatomy greatly influenced his artistry. This self-portrait, painted when Stubbs was 57 years old, is a testament to his skills as a painter of human figures, a lesser-known aspect of his oeuvre compared to his animal studies.
The painting is an oil on canvas, measuring 76.2 x 63.5 cm, and is part of the collection at the National Portrait Gallery, London. In this self-portrait, Stubbs presents himself with a confident gaze, dressed in the attire of a gentleman, which reflects his success and social standing. The composition is simple and devoid of the elaborate backgrounds or symbolism often found in self-portraits of the period. Instead, Stubbs focuses on his own likeness with a directness that conveys his character and profession.
The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its autobiographical value, providing insight into the self-perception of an artist who was at the peak of his career. Stubbs's self-portrait is a rare example of his human portraiture and is often studied in contrast to his more famous animal paintings. It represents an important piece within the broader narrative of 18th-century British art and the development of self-portraiture as a genre.
This self-portrait by George Stubbs is an essential work for understanding the artist's personal identity and his place within the context of British art history. It remains an object of study for art historians and enthusiasts who seek to comprehend the full scope of Stubbs's artistic legacy.
