A woman and a man on two horses galloping across the moorland.

This is the first oil sketch for 'The Riders' painted and posed on the Yorkshire moors in a gale. A later watercolour sketch changed the man's horse to white. The final oil painting, which was based on Browning's poem 'The Last Ride Together', was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1911 and is now in the Graves Art Gallery, Sheffield.
