George Stubbs / Laetitia, Lady Lade (1793) Romanticism – Hand-Painted Oil Reproduction by Dafen Village Studio

Commissioned in 1793 by the Prince of Wales (later King George IV) and housed in the Royal Collection at Buckingham Palace, Laetitia, Lady Lade is one of George Stubbs’s most dynamic equestrian portraits. Depicting the famously spirited Lady Lade astride a powerful black horse in a side-saddle position, Stubbs brilliantly contrasts her detailed dark riding habit and feathered hat against a dramatic, cloudy sky. The composition showcases Stubbs’s mastery in combining equine anatomical accuracy with bold, fashionable portraiture of late 18th-century British society.
