George Stubbs' "Self Portrait" is a significant work within the oeuvre of the renowned British painter, who is best known for his detailed and anatomically precise depictions of horses. Created around 1781-1782, this self-portrait offers a rare glimpse into the visage of an artist who typically focused on equine subjects and scenes of rural life. Stubbs, born in 1724, was largely self-taught and gained acclaim for his meticulous studies of horse anatomy, which culminated in his seminal publication, "The Anatomy of the Horse" in 1766.

The "Self Portrait" is executed in oil on canvas and measures approximately 76.2 cm by 63.5 cm. In this work, Stubbs presents himself with a direct and contemplative gaze, capturing the viewer's attention with an air of quiet confidence. The background is relatively plain, ensuring that the focus remains on the artist's face and upper body. Stubbs is depicted wearing a dark coat and a white cravat, typical of the fashion of the late 18th century, which adds a touch of formality and timelessness to the portrait.

This self-portrait is particularly valuable not only for its artistic merit but also for the insight it provides into Stubbs' self-perception and the era in which he lived. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Stubbs did not seek the limelight, preferring instead to let his work speak for itself. As such, this self-portrait stands out as a rare instance of personal expression in a career largely devoted to the study and depiction of animals.

The painting is currently housed in the National Portrait Gallery in London, where it continues to be a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts alike. It serves as a testament to Stubbs' skill not only as an animal painter but also as a portraitist, capable of capturing the subtleties of human expression with the same precision he applied to his equine subjects.
