"Lunardi, slim and handsome, walks diagonally towards the spectator from the right, supported on a staff, his left hand held out as if begging. On his back is his collapsed balloon, a large bundle from which project a net and two oars or propellers. His dress is fashionable but ragged. In the background are trees and a church."--British Museum online catalogue, description of earlier state of similar composition.
