A rider sits stiffly on a misshapen horse that wears blinkers. The rider's stirrups almost touch the ground, and his body and legs form a quasi-vertical line from head to heels. Above his hat is a dotted half circle labeled '90 degrees'. On the right in the middle distance another horse gallops out of control of its rider while further on top a hill in the distance is St. Paul's Cathedral and surrounding buildings.

"Two Londoners in riding-dress, in the parlour of a country inn, gape at a dwarfish, old, and hideous barmaid who enters (on pattens) with a jug of ale. One has been tricked by the other's ballad on 'Nature's child! sweet maid of Mim' to expect a rustic belle."--British Museum catalogue.
