Description
A rider gallops up the hill to the right into a fierce wind that is blowing the leaves off the trees, whilst a murder of crows shelter in the lee to the left. A splendid sunset spreads a strange light. Both this painting and the next were painted in 1869; the critic of the Pall Mall Gazette wrote of the RA that year that 'Mr H. Moore has a palette and a ruling sentiment as peculiar and individually expressive as those of M. Corot. From the white of creaming surge to the clear brown of moist sand and the lavender shades that lie banked in his distances, he modulates with inconceivable refinement and variety.'
