A Horse Frightened by a Lion

George Stubbs

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image titled 'A Horse Frightened by a Lion' by George Stubbs depicts a white horse rearing up on its hind legs. The horse's front legs are raised off the ground and its mane and tail are flowing in the air. A large lion stands to the right, looking towards the horse. The scene is set against a rocky landscape with trees and bushes, and a dark and cloudy sky. The horse and lion are the main focus of the image, with the horse appearing frightened and the lion appearing calm. The overall atmosphere is one of tension and drama. The image is rendered in black and white.
