Abstract: "A hand-coloured print of a steep hill in Greenwich Park on which people are running up and down. Large and thin couples chase one another, kiss and cavort, sometimes with disastrous outcomes, including a couple of women who have collided, their bottoms exposed. At the top of the hill stands a tree under which two men are seated. At the bottom left, a man hides behind a tree, ready to strike an un-suspecting woman with a stick."--Royal Collection Trust online catalogue.
