“Like seeing some kind of abomination at high speed” is how Brown describes this vivid hunting scene, which features her characteristic gestural brushwork and expressive use of color. The shapes of a hound and a horse racing through woodland are suggested by the blurring of figurative forms and the abstract marks in both the lower right and the center of the painting. Inspired by the historic British hunting pictures that traditionally hung in the estates of wealthy landowners, Brown’s fractured composition hints at the brutality not only of the sport but also of the British class system.
