Description

Pen and grey ink and brown ink and watercolour over traces of pencil.
This drawing shows a jockey being weighed in before a race while his mount is being scraped prior to the race. At race meetings in the eighteenth century, horse and jockey assembled at the rubbing-down house before a race where the sweat on the horse was scrapped off. A finished version of this watercolour is recorded in the Halifax collection.
