These prints depict scenes of English fox hunting, a traditional and classic activity in the countryside. The artwork includes riders in red hunting coats (known as “pinks”) on horseback, accompanied by hunting dogs. Both prints are framed in elegant wooden frames with green matting, highlighting the vintage and sophisticated aesthetic of the pieces.
- “The right & bad sort” refers to two types of riders: one who is skilled and rides with good form and one who lacks skill or style.
- “or a good & bad style of going across country” emphasizes the way they handle the challenging terrain during the hunt. One rider may navigate the obstacles gracefully and confidently, while the other may appear awkward or reckless.
The artist likely intended this as a playful critique or lighthearted observation of how people approach fox hunting. It adds charm and personality to the artwork while poking fun at the differences in skill and technique among riders.
