In this image, we find ourselves amidst the picturesque Yorkshire countryside as renowned highwayman Dick Turpin races through on his faithful steed, Black Bess. Turpin's daring ride from London to York in the 18th century became legendary and was immortalized in Harrison Ainsworth's novel Rookwood. Zinkeisen's artistic prowess shines through as she masterfully captures Turpin riding at breakneck speed against the backdrop of majestic York Minster. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke seems alive with energy and movement.
