To Robert Bakewell Esq[uir]e This Plate of Bulls Fighting
Mezzotint of two Durham shorthorn bulls fighting, engraved by George Townley Stubbs after George Stubbs and published by Benjamin Evans in 1788.
The original study, an oil on a panel, on which the present engraving is based, and which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1787, is now in the Mellon Collection (Egerton 1984, no. 128). The painting was probably originally owned by Robert Bakewell (1725-1795), a well-known Leicestershire stock-breeder, to whom the print is dedicated.
This is state III, the first completed state with engraved imprint, preceded by two proof states.
Engraving with mezzotint.
