A scene depicting Lord Fulwar Craven, on horse back, in profile to the right, dressed in hunting costume with a view of Ashdown House in the background. The house was built by William Earl Craven (supposedly for Elizabeth of Bohemia, sister of Charles I, but she died before construction was started). It was gifted by the family to the National Trust in 1956 and is now tenanted by Pete Townsend of 'The Who', who has undertaken a substantial renovation. Another attendant to the hunt is also on a horse, behind to the left. A huntsman with a dead hare is standing before him, with two greyhounds and a smaller horse. Fulwar Craven, 4th Baron Craven, was an English nobleman and sportsman who was educated at Rugby School and Magdalen College, Oxford. He was famously fond of racing and hunting, hunting on his Berkshire estates at Hamstead Marshall and Ashdown Park, keeping his own stud of racehorses and founding a racecourse at Lambourn. He and his brother William founded the Craven Hunt.

A portrait of the racehorse Marske by George Stubbs. Marske was sire of the hugely successful horse Eclipse, and was given to the Duke of Cumberland in exchange for a chestnut Arabian. Following the Duke's death he was bought by William Wildman and put to stud. With Eclipse's unbeatable Marske's stud fee doubled and some doubt was cast as to whether Marske had actually been the sire, Wildman sought to remedy this and commissioned Stubbs to paint him and he became the most successful stud in England. Mask is shown standing in a countryside scene by lake.
