A single-horse carriage is stopped in front of a rustic inn or roadhouse, with two caricatured Frenchmen (one a postillion wearing enormous boots) engaged in changing out the horse. An occupant of the carriage hands money out the window to a peasant woman holding an infant and accompanied by a young boy; two other shabbily dressed figures are nearby next to a tree, one of them playing a makeshift drum. In the doorway of the building stands a young woman, and to the left a man under an archway stands with arms crossed; both watch the scene unfold. In the background a postillion rides away on horseback, whip extended into the air

Title from related published print., Formerly mounted on blue paper with residue on the back of the sheet., The first two lines are identical (with the exception for a slight change in the title of the third figure, top row) to a plate entitled "Dottator et lineator loquitur" and published in: Ackermann's Repository of Arts for February 1, 1817, following page 90., An example of the "line and dot" caricature., The genre was perhaps originated by G.M.

See Curator's note to British Museum online catalogue, Registration number: 1935,0522.10.220.b, and The published print was accompanied by a satirical poem from the artist's perspecive, scorning the great masters' classical training in figure drawing and sculpture.
