description

Summary

A man canters in profile to the left on a lean and broken-kneed horse whose hind-quarter is branded. He has only one rein attached to ill-fitting harness, and sits with his leg thrust forward and holds a club against his right shoulder. Behind him (right) is a signpost: 'The Bridle Way to Horse-Lydown' (a pun on Horselydown, Southwark). In the background are trees and (left) the Thames with ships. A Dublin piracy, after 1787.
