This painting shows two men on horseback chasing a fox with a pack of hounds. The men wear red coats, black hats, and white pants, holding whips. The horses gallop through a field with a fence and bare trees in the background. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes to show movement and energy. The colors are bright but slightly washed out, giving a lively yet dreamy feel. Check out Caldecott, Randolph for more of his playful, lively paintings.
