# An 18th-century artwork of a Spanish pointer dog is set to be auctioned off for the first time in more than 50 years next week. The Spanish Pointer by British artist George Stubbs has only been exhibited to the public once when it was shown at London’s National Gallery of Sports and Pastimes in 1948. Auction house Sotheby’s says the artwork demonstrates Stubbs’ versatility and innate understanding of animal anatomy of all species. The painting is expected to be sold for around 400-million-rand.
