DescriptionA man on horseback holds a riding crop in his right hand and the reins in his left hand. He wears a cap, a double-breasted coat, breeches, and boots. The horse, which has a bridle, English saddle, and plaid saddle blanket, is leaping over a stream lined with grass or reeds, plants, and bushes. A fence and a tree are at the far left. Two fox hounds chase a fox across an open field in the right background.
