George Stubbs / Prince of Wales Phaeton (1793) Romanticism – Hand-Painted Oil Reproduction by Dafen Village Studio

Commissioned in 1793 for George, Prince of Wales (later King George IV) and housed in the Royal Collection at Buckingham Palace, The Prince of Wales’s Phaeton stands as one of George Stubbs’s most celebrated royal commissions. The painting depicts the Prince’s high-wheeled, elegant phaeton carriage harnessed to a team of magnificent black horses, accompanied by state liveried postillions and the Prince’s state dog, Samuel. Stubbs brilliantly combines intricate mechanical and carriage detailing with his unmatched mastery of equine anatomy and gentle outdoor atmospheric lighting.
