Otho, with John Larkin up by George Stubbs

Otho, with John Larkin up by George Stubbs, 1768

Original Size: 50 x 40"

This portrait with a mounted jockey, beside one of the rubbing-down houses at Newmarket, was presumably commissioned to celebrate the achievements of Otho in 1767, the last year of his racing career, when he had several victories at Newmarket.

Stubbs was often limited to painting standard horse portraits for proud owners. However, even in conventional subjects such as this, he raised the genre to a poetic level with his subtle atmospheric effects.
