Original copper engraving print titled 'Sharke' after George Stubbs from "Stubbs's Racehorse Portraits", engraved by his son George Townley Stubbs, published in 1794, London.

His portrait of the famous racehorse Sharke who served at stud in Virginia and "did as much to enhance the value of the bloodstock of the United States as any horse ever imported".

Stubbs is best remembered for his paintings of horses and his conversation pieces. Having studied anatomy, Stubbs's pictures of horses are among the most accurate ever painted, but his work is lyrical and transcends naturalism.
