[2] A Quaker, in a shallow broad-brimmed hat, walks primly (right to left) with a young (twin) daughter on each arm. He holds a large gamp umbrella, fastened and point downwards. [3] A thin man wearing a long greatcoat and seedy top-hat, walks (left to right) with an expression of acute melancholy. He trails behind him an unfastened umbrella. He faces heavy wind and slanting rain. Beside him is a small dead tree. Near each is an appropriate dog."--British Museum online catalogue
