Abstract:
"A rectangular plot enclosed by palings and gate and surrounded by trees outside an old-fashioned country house (left). The plot has four rectangles of turf set in gravel which a fat man in a dressing-gown with a cloth tied over his head is rolling, a dog running in front. A fatter man in night-cap, shirt-sleeves, and waistcoat (split up the back) holds a pair of dumb-bells, turning to a young woman (left) who is sawing a log of wood supported on trestles. Beside the paling is a dove-cote on a pole."--British Museum online catalogue
