Die Jagd

Thomas Rowlandson, veröffentlicht 1787

The image shows a group of mounted riders in a fast chase. One rider in a red coat has fallen off their horse, which is on the ground. Another rider in red is moving away from the viewer, heading down a slope. More riders in various colored coats, including blue, are galloping along a far ridge. The background consists of rolling hills going into the distance, with figures in pursuit. The sky is light blue with soft clouds. The brushwork shows movement and energy. The color palette includes warm browns and reds, as well as cooler blues, accentuating the drama of the chase.
