Red-coated riders and a pack of hounds cross open country in this scene, with a fox medallion set into the composition as a clue to the quarry being chased. Hunting prints of this kind were especially popular in Britain and its colonies during the 18th and 19th centuries, when foxhunting was a leading social pastime for landowners and their guests. The scarlet coats worn by the field marked those who rode with the hunt, and artists often used the figures and animals to show rank, skill and the ceremony of the chase. Looking closely, the horses' poses and the hounds' spacing reveal how painters tried to balance motion with a sense of order.
