- Abstract
-
"A rider flings his arms above his head in terror as his horse plunges head first into a deep pool, making a gigantic splash. A horse immediately behind him (left) rears, and its rider also throws up his arms terror-struck. On the farther side of the water (right), and in the background, a huntsman stands holding out the fox by the tail to the hounds."--British Museum online catalogue
