Drovers with a Pair of Rearing Horses

Thomas Rowlandson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men interacting with a pair of horses. On the left side, one man is seen in profile facing the horses with his mouth open. He has a round face with a prominent nose and is wearing a cap. His hand is raised towards the horses. On the right, another man is seated atop a horse, facing forward with a determined expression and holding a whip in his raised hand. The horses' heads are in front of the men, with open mouths and attentive eyes. The background is plain.
