EDITORS COMMENTS
Morning Ride captures a charming scene from the life of Master George, as depicted in Henry Thomas Alken's original drawing for plate 12 of Scenes in the Life of Master George. This exquisite print showcases the artist's mastery of graphite and watercolor on paper, measuring 18.3x24.1 cm. Set against a picturesque park backdrop, we witness an elegant exchange between two riders - one male and one female - as they meet during their morning ride. Dressed impeccably in formal attire, complete with top hats and society-approved garments, they epitomize the refined etiquette of Georgian-era equestrian culture. The male rider extends his arm in greeting or salutation to his female counterpart, showcasing the polite manners expected within this social sphere. The presence of a side saddle suggests that our female rider adheres to traditional gender norms while enjoying her equestrian pursuits. Alken's attention to detail is evident throughout this artwork; every stroke brings life to each character and their surroundings. From the intricate rendering of horse anatomy to capturing subtle expressions on their faces, he transports us back to early 19th-century England. This piece now resides at Yale Center for British Art as part of Paul Mellon Collection where it continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide. Morning Ride serves as a testament not only to Alken's artistic talent but also provides insight into an era defined by its strict societal codes and love for horse riding.
