Abstract: "Two ladies have descended from their coach, and stand in the road, urinating; one (left) is elderly and ugly, the other young and pretty. The footman stands in back view, also 'laying the dust', as are the pair of horses (right) and a dog. The coachman on his box, turning his back to the party in the road, imitates their example. A signpost (left) points 'To Broadwater'."--British Museum online catalogue.
