Depiction: The old Cockney hunt is in full swing. The hounds are streaming over some palings in the way of their run. A poor little huntsman, perched upon a white mare, in attempting the jump has lost his whip, missed his seat, and is being thrown over the neck of his horse, while a spirited belle is leaping her horse in true sportsmanlike style.
Signed in plate, lower left: "Rowlandson [date too faint to read]".
