William Anderson with two Saddle-Horses

William Anderson with Two Saddle-Horses from 1793 by George Stubbs is a late royal commission depicting a royal groom with two horses in the group composition that was one of his most reliable formats. Anderson's identity as a royal groom places this within the sustained series of royal commissions Stubbs received in the early 1790s from the Prince of Wales and his household. The two horses are individually characterized—likely different animals with distinct colors and conformations—while the groom's figure provides the human element and scale reference that Stubbs's client required. His oil technique in these late works maintains full anatomical precision while the atmospheric treatment of the landscape setting shows greater painterly freedom than his earlier, crisper style. The work is held at the Royal Collection.

The two horses and their attendant are rendered with Stubbs's characteristic anatomical precision, each horse individually characterized.
