Abstract: "A scene in Rotten Row, Hyde Park. Three horsemen, the centre one ('Up') in the foreground. He is a cockneyfied dandy and bad (and frightened) horseman: his horse kicks viciously; the girth is broken, the saddle slipping sideways: he has dropped his rein to clutch at the horse's mane; his hat flies off, and though still in the saddle he will inevitably fall awkwardly. A dog barks at him. In the middle distance (left) a dandy rides stiffly, while on the right the third dandy (right) on a caracoling horse resembles Lord Petersham."--British Museum online catalogue
