Behind, the innkeeper hurries from the door with a punch-bowl. At a horse-trough (left), placed under the inn-sign of a leaping stag, two saddle-horses are drinking; an ostler stands beside them."--British Museum online catalogue

Beyond the wall is the roof of a cottage, a church tower and a cottage with a niche with a statue of a saint."--British Museum online catalogue

"The Uncle, who is a sufferer from gout, is evidently a well-to-do personage; and the attentions of his relatives, who are favouring the sufferer with a visit of condolence, are, it appears, suggested by self-interest. One of the highly considerate relations seems good-naturedly assisting the invalid by making his will, while a pretty young damsel is embarrassing their interesting connection with a tender embrace, and altogether the members of the party are evidently set upon promoting their own prospects with a view to a division of the estate."--Grego, J.
