Caught at the top of the arc, the bay folds its forelegs while the hind legs still trail behind the fence. The rider is out of the saddle, chest low over the neck, hands following the crest. Colour is concentrated in the red hunting coat, white breeches, black boots with spurs and a dark velvet cap. Beneath them the obstacle is built from a timber frame packed with foliage, each leaf modelled separately up the full height of the brush.
