- The Godolphin Arabian was only 14 hands 1 and a half inches.
- The Darley Arabian was only 15 hands high, but John Wootton makes the small Arab look massive next to his groom!
- Painted by John Wootton, this picture's title of 'The Byerly Turk' is spelled incorrectly: it should read 'Byerley Turk' after his owner Captain Byerley. Again the artist has made the Arab look huge next to his handler.
