The Anatomy of the Horse (Dover Anatomy for Artists) by Stubbs, George (1976) Paperback Details
Reviews
Unexcelled series of highly refined engravings of all aspects of the skeletal structure & musculature of the horse. The ideal reference guide for the artist. Stubbs was probably the greatest painter of horses in the English speaking world. His chief commissions involved "portraits" of the great English racing & breeding horses of his day, the last quarter of the eighteenth century, along with highly informative genre paintings of farmers & farm laborers, their clothing & equipage, but that's another book.
