Whistlejacket was a champion chestnut stallion who found fame after winning at York in 1759. Painted at life size by George Stubbs around 1762, he appears without a rider, tack or scenery, giving the powerful Whistlejack the whole canvas to himself. Licensing shares the National Gallery’s collection while supporting its care for future generations. GEORGE STUBBS Whistlejacket, 1762 © The National Gallery, London
