A painting by George Stubbs is to be sold at auction for only the second time in its history.
The painting, Mares and Foals, was created by Stubbs in the 1760s and depicts a river landscape featuring three horses and two foals.
It is expected to fetch £7-10 million at Christie’s, the Telegraph reports.
It is believed to have been painted for the 18th-century prime minister Augustus Fitzroy, 3rd Duke of Grafton.
