About this work

This print shows a man and woman sitting on a bench in a park. The woman wears a light blue dress and holds a fan, while the man in a red coat leans close, smiling. Behind them, a horse stands tied to a post, and trees fill the background. The title *The Enamoured Sportsman* hints at a playful scene—maybe about love and outdoor fun. The artist used hand coloring to add soft tones to the etched lines. Look up etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
