After Henry William Bunbury British
Not on view
Four small scenes make gentle fun of various aspects of riding. In "How to Stop Your Horse at pleasure," a man rides full tilt into a barn and places his feet on the door frame. In "Geoffrey Gombado" (as pseudonym used by the artist Bunbury), a gouty man sits by a table grumpily holding a crutch while eyeing his boots. In "How to Ride up Hyde Park," a man gallops to the left and turns his head to grin at the viewer. Finally, in "A Bit of Blood, " a man in a red coat and carrying a cudgel and rides near a signpost lettered "The Bridle Way. Horselydown," with a coastal view at right.
