DescriptionIn a grassy field near a large tree, a black horse, ridden by a man dressed like a fox hunter, has collided with a gray horse, ridden by a man wearing a coat, top hat, and necktie. The gray horse is on the ground by a fallen branch. His bridle is in pieces and his rider is falling backwards with his feet in the air. The man's hat and riding crop are falling to the left. The forefeet of the black horse are around the neck of the gray horse. The rider of the black horse pulls back sharply on the reins. He wears a red coat, cap, breeches, and boots. He holds a riding crop in his right hand. His horse has a bobbed tail. Thick brush is at the far right. Two other riders are galloping towards the right beyond a small tree in the left background.
