Going Out in the Morning

Thomas Rowlandson, publicado en 1786

The image shows a scene with figures and animals from an eye-level perspective. A large tree occupies the left side and top of the composition, potentially obscuring the horizon line. On the right, there are hounds playing. The figures are dressed in blue and red riding garments, riding horses with varied coats. The brushwork is illustrative with precise outlines, resembling an 18th-century print. The color palette is warm with browns, blues, and reds. In the distance, softer hues extend the landscape without defining a horizon.
