The original title for the print is The Belvoir Hunt Horses Exercising, A December Morning. 

The original painting was exhibited as Some of the Hunt Horses at exercise - Early December morning (1921).

Munnings wrote in the 1921 catalogue: 

"These pictures were painted during my stay at Woolsthorpe with Maj Bouch, Master of the Belvoir Hunt, and it was through his kindness that was able to do what I show here.  Every facility was given me in kennels and stables, where I had free use of the hounds and horses at all times.  I have not touched any of this work away from the spot, and they stand as impressions studies or pictures, as the onlooker chooses to style them."

Sir Alfred James Munnings, KCVO PRA RI (8 October 1878 – 17 July 1959) was known as one of England's finest painters of horses, and as an outspoken critic of Modernism. Engaged by Lord Beaverbrook's Canadian War Memorials Fund, he earned several prestigious commissions after the Great War that made him wealthy. Between 1912 and 1914 he was a member of the Newlyn School of artists. His work was part of the art competitions at the 1928 Summer Olympics, the 1932 Summer Olympics, and the 1948 Summer Olympics.

Munnings was president of the Royal Academy of Arts from 1944 until his death.
