Created in the 1840s and delicately hand-colored, each work features a rider in formal attire executing a precise maneuver—a female rider soaring over a jump sidesaddle, the male performing a collected halt.

The prints are mounted in later, deep and mahogany-stained cherry wood frames with gilt inner edges, complementing the warm patina and subtle foxing of the antique paper. The pair offers both historic charm and decorative versatility—equally at home in a traditional library, country estate interior, or English riding-inspired décor.
