a-l-ancien-regime: Frightened Horses Sawrey Gilpin (1733-1807) c.1780 Oil on canvas Royal Collection © Sawrey Gilpin worked for the Duke of Cumberland and later the Prince of Wales. This painting may have been executed for George III. From 1769 George Stubbs started treating the subject of threatened and attacked horses. Gilpin here follows Stubbs’s lead both in mood and in the way in which the white horse is treated as if carved in marble in low relief. -- source link
