"An elderly man, his profile caricatured, dressed as a military officer, inspects through a glass a fat man and boy (left), both Dutch, wearing baggy breeches and sabots, who lean against a rail, the man smoking a pipe. A pretty young woman, wearing a high-waisted travelling dress and small hat, takes the officer's arm; her left hand is in a large muff. Behind are the masts of a vessel backed by chalk cliffs, showing that the rail edges a small creek or harbour; on the right are a beam and pulley."--British Museum online catalogue
