Description: | Of the nine works by Géricault that William Burrell purchased, only two - The Polish Trumpeter and The Prancing Grey Horse - are now known to be definitely by the artist. Five - including The Stud Farm - are no longer attributed to Géricault at all and two others are doubtful. The subject of The Stud Farm - with the rearing horse in the foreground, the handlers and the farm buildings - is close to the type of farmyard genre scene that Géricault painted during his stay in England in 1820-21. But the awkwardness in the drawing - both of the figures and the horses - makes it unlikely that this is a work by Géricault, as do the costumes, which are too late to be from the artist's lifetime. | Subjects: | animal (horses); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Géricault, Théodore (French painter and draftsman, 1791-1824) Æ Attributed to manner of Attributed to Géricault, Théodore (French painter and draftsman, 1791-1824) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8296... | Go to resource |
