Diamond Jubilee Newmarket Stakes 1900

$25000. - 35000. Diamond Jubilee out of Perdita II was owned by Edward Prince of Wales. Diamond Jubilee was an English Triple Crown winner winning the 2000 Guineas the Epsom Derby and the St. Leger Stakes. The same year Diamond Jubilee won the Newmarket Stakes against Chevening by a nose. The present work is one of several pieces Stull painted of Diamond Jubilee. As noted in Animal and Sporting Artists in America "In 1899 he went to England and France painting for patrons there including the Prince of Wales for whom he painted the future English Triple Crown winner Diamond Jubilee both as a foal at the foot of his dam Perdita II and later as a two-year-old." Stull's racing scenes are some of his most coveted works and Diamond Jubilee winning the Newmarket Stakes is a fantastic example. The prominence of both Diamond Jubilee and Prince Edward make this work a unique piece of racing history by one of America's most highly regarded equestrian artists.
