The works can be seen as a response to the growing popularity of picturesque and sentimental scenes of rural life (known as genre scenes). Although Barret was a skilled figure and animal painter, the figures and dog in the paintings may have been added by another artist. Barret is known to have collaborated with the animal painter Sawrey Gilpin, who painted figures on horseback within some of his compositions.
