White Poodle in a Punt c. 1780

"White Poodle in a Punt" (c. 1780) by George Stubbs is a portrait of a white poodle standing on a wooden structure, possibly a boat, against a serene landscape. Stubbs, known for his detailed anatomical studies of animals, captured the poodle's fluffy white coat and expressive gaze with remarkable precision. The painting showcases his mastery of realism and attention to detail, a hallmark of his work, which often depicted animals in naturalistic settings. The serene background emphasizes the poodle's presence as the central subject, adding to the painting's charm.
