DescriptionTwo spotted dogs, apparently greyhounds, chase a rabbit across an open grassy field. Trees, bushes, and a rail fence are in the foreground. A building, evidently a house, with a chimney and a picket fence with a gate is in the right background. Two men on horseback emerge from the woods at the left. They wear top hats and long coats. A second cottage and hills are in the left background.
