This is a posthumous portrait, painted in the year of the sitter's untimely death. Esmé Jenner was the daughter of Sir Walter Jenner (1860–1948), 2nd Baronet, who left Lytes Cary to the National Trust. She was Master of the Sparkford Vale Harriers from 1931 to 1932.

Here she is pictured mounted on the horse 'Welshman', looking in profile to the left. Fox hounds gather in the foreground on the right and on the other side of the hill to the right of the horse. A large tree, of which only the trunk and a few branches can be seen, perhaps symbolically, frames the scene.
