About Artwork: (1787) "A gentleman and a lady sit in an open carriage. Their identities are unknown, and it is unclear if they are married. This type of high-built, four-wheel carriage was typically driven by its gentleman-driver owner, rather than by a coachman. It was known as a ‘phaeton’ after the son of the Greek god Helios, who attempted to ride the chariot of the sun and almost set the earth on fire. With a minimal, lightly sprung body mounted on large wheels, the phaeton was particularly used for recreational driving and racing. Stubbs gives as much attention to the phaeton and its construction as he does to its two occupants or the pair of horses pulling it. Placing the carriage against dark foliage allows him to show the undercarriage mechanism in meticulous detail." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
