On a table is an inkstand and quill, a wine bottle, glass and candle with a book entitled "Tythe laws fully consider'd". At cat pulls from the table a paper labelled "Bans of marriage", while on the floor near a small dog a large book lies open to "Poem on good living".

A jovial countryman leans on a rustic railing next to a tree, to address a fat elderly parson on horseback (riding to the left). He asks, "Ha! Ha, the knaust Doctor I be a rum fellow, Canst thee tell me why a parsons horse be like a king?" The parson answers with a grin, "Why you rogue, because it is guided by a minister." He is red-faced and freckled and prosperous looking, with a round belly; he carries a sermon in his pocket whose title is "Sermon to be prea[ched] ..."

A short obese man in back-view on the extreme right, who is about to mount his horse has been identified as Captain Grose.
