Painting is a 1752 paint by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, held at Museum of English Rural Life, University of Reading.
This painting shows two horses and riders racing. It's an oil painting on glass over a print. The frame is black and gilt, which adds to its old feel. The horses are the main focus, and they seem to be in motion. The painting was published in 1752, which is a bit unusual. It's not every day you see a painting on glass like this. The fact that it's on glass over a print makes it interesting. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: sfumato.
