Two Gentlemen Going a Shooting, with a View of Creswell Crags, Taken on the Spot is the first painting of the shooting series by George Stubbs. In the painting there are two middle age men and two hounds. They’re hunters therefore as the dawn rises they prepare for a nice hunting day. The men look as if they are wearing flock coats, breeches, hose and boots that are cut off at the mid calf. The flock coat is most likely made out of linen, wool, silk or all three. The combination of the breeches and hose were made out of a loosely woven fabric and they were cut on the bias, therefore it allowed them to fit the legs more effectively. The architecture relates to the figures and animals because it serves as a shelter for them. The shelter is…show more content… In addition the hunters and hounds are just feet away from a nice glistening lake and then beyond the lake is some grasslands. It was an early autumn morning, where the dew sparkled on the grass. The weather was just perfect, not to cold and not to hot. The clouds were slowly making their way west as the sun rose higher and higher. The scene brings off a sense of determination. The men are wasting no time in getting ready for their day of hunting. The one gentleman standing looks like he is ready to take charge and get on the move, while the other gentleman finishes loading his gun. In addition to this scene you can observe how the hounds are alert and ready to go. The two gentlemen have the higher social class than the hounds because you can notice how obedient and close by they remain. This painting shows the viewer how loyal and helpful the hounds will be in this journey they are about to take…show more content… The painting has one depicted human figure, which is the jockey; a jockey is someone who participates in horseracing and is often recognized as a professional. The jockey in Stubbs painting is a male and is wearing traditional silks. Silks are also known as racing colors and they were worn on race day. Racing Silks consisted of a particularly patterned and/or colored jacket and cap worn with cream breeches. In the scene of Turf, with Jockey up, at Newmarket the jockey is mounted on the racehorse. The white post at the right edge of the paintings suggests the track is just beyond our viewing. In addition this suggests the jockey and racehorse are preparing to race, therefore the concentration is displayed in the painting. Although the size of the rider relatively small, even for a jockey. The architecture seen is referred to as the rubbing-down house and is located at a course in Suffolk. The architecture in the painting is very useful to the racing horse because it consists of stalls where the horses were saddled. In addition it is where the horse is rubbed down after the races. Stubbs uses a rural area with a low landscape. By having flat plains it leaves the greater part of the canvas to the bright area of the sky. The bright sky makes the grassland visible to the viewer that is will indeed be a good racing day. You are able to see white fluffy clouds indicating the weather is perfect
