Whistlejacket is an oil-on canvas painting from about 1762 by British artist George Stubbs showing the Marques of Rockingham`s racehorce, rearing up against a blank background. The huge canvas, lack of other features, and Stubbs' attention to the minute details of the horse's appearance give the portrait a powerful physical presence. It has been described in The Independent as "a paradigm of the flawless beauty of an Arabian thoroughbred"
