Gilpin's attention to detail not only in the anatomy of the horse but also in the depiction of the paddock setting and the groom's attire, provides a glimpse into the historical context of the era. The painting is characterized by its realistic portrayal and the dynamic representation of the horse's musculature, showcasing Gilpin's skill in rendering the vitality and movement inherent in these animals.
