The Course

Thomas Rowlandson, probably 1789

The image shows a group of elegantly dressed individuals on horses. There are cumulus clouds in the sky and more horses and riders in the distance. The brushwork shows fine detailing of the clothing and horses, with a gentle color palette of soft blues and creams in the sky, and earthy tones in the attire and horses.
