Monkeys dressed as jockeys riding hounds in a hunt scene

Several monkeys in colourful jockey-style jackets and caps ride racing hounds across a grassy, sloping field toward a wooden fence and crossbeam post. The dogs leap and stretch in full gallop under a pale, overcast sky with distant trees. The colour lithograph shows lively movement and a comic, humanized staging.
