In this artwork, the central figure, presumably William Anderson, is depicted riding one of two saddle horses. He is dressed in a red coat, indicative of traditional riding attire. The composition showcases the horses in motion, with the background featuring a vast landscape and a partially clouded sky. The attention to detail in the depiction of both the figures and the setting exemplifies Stubbs’ skill in portraying equine subjects and reflects the Romanticism movement’s emphasis on nature and dynamic composition.
