DescriptionThis print is an image of two hunting horses. The horse on the right is a dappled white, and is rearing up. Its master, a man in eighteenth century dress, pulls back the horses reins and lifts a cane in his right hand as if to strike the other horse. At the white horse's feet, a hound looks up at it cautiously. On the right, a black horse lunges at the other horse. Its master pulls back at its reins. In the background is a stone or brick building. 1770
