Colour print of monkeys dressed as jockeys riding galloping hounds across a field past a wooden fence and signpost under an overcast sky.

Monkeys dressed as jockeys riding hounds to the Charenton insane asylum. Colour lithograph by Régnier, Béttannier and Morlon after D'Orschwiller, 1860.

Several monkeys in colourful jockey-style jackets and caps ride racing hounds across a grassy, sloping field toward a wooden fence and crossbeam post. The dogs leap and stretch in full gallop under a pale, overcast sky with distant trees. The colour lithograph shows lively movement and a comic, humanized staging.

Español: Monos vestidos de jinetes montando perros de caza

Varios monos con chaquetas de colores y gorras al estilo de jockey cabalgan perros de caza que galopan por un campo inclinado hacia una cerca de madera y un poste con travesaño. Los perros saltan y estiran sus cuerpos bajo un cielo nublado y pálido, con árboles lejanos. La litografía en color muestra movimiento vivo y una escena cómica con personajes humanizados.
