Excellent original print after drawings by the important English painter George Morland (1763-1804), published on 3 January 1801 by John P. Thompson, Great Newport Street, London. Two figure studies share the same sheet: on the left, a young groom in a countryman's smock holding a long whip; on the right, another groom, also in a smock, holding a horse by the reins and a crop in his other hand.
Morland was one of the great painters of English rural life, and his studies of grooms, country folk and animals were widely circulated in print. This one is etched in the crayon manner, with the characteristic grain of soft-ground etching, which faithfully reproduces the stroke of the drawing. Each composition is signed in the plate "G. Morland", and the publication line appears in the lower margin.
Medium: Soft-ground etching (crayon manner), signed in the plate.
