Unsigned line etching after a design by George Stubbs; this print is a different rendering of the same design included in a set of engravings by William Woollett after Stubbs, published by Thomas Bradford in 1769-1771 with the title "Shooting"; publisher Thomas Gosden also appears to have issued the set of four designs by Stubbs entitled "Partridge shooting" rendered in aquatint.
Summary:
Print shows two sportsmen with their dogs shooting birds flying over a field; one of the men fires his gun while the second man strides forward, gun in hand. Behind them at left a thatched roof is visible behind trees and fencing.
