Depiction: A handsome young huntsman has encountered, in the course of his sport, a pretty country maiden, neatly apparelled, and beaming with all the freshness of rustic simplicity and artlessness. Her budding charms are tempting the youth to court the maiden, to her own manifest embarrassment. Meanwhile the gay Lothario's huntsman is shown in the distance "going" off with the horses. The young squire's hunting, as far as the chase of the fox is concerned, being evidently finished for the day.
Item description: Similar to "Admiring Jew", "A Cully Pillag'd", and "A Lady in Limbo".
Signed in plate, lower left: "Rowlandson 1785".
