Outside a tavern called The Whirligig, Col. Tarleton brandishes his sword while making a boastful speech about his military exploits. Behind him stands the Prince of Wales, headless, but identifiable by the ostrich plumes which replace his features. Above the tavern door the figure of a prostitute serves as the sign of the house

"Lord Denbigh (right) stands in profile to the left on a country road, his aquiline nose exaggerated. A procession of six foxhounds, the last of which has just left his mouth, runs down his body and along the road from right to left. A fox runs across a field on the right and Denbigh holds out his right arm as if directing the hounds towards it. The road is edged by trees; a sign-post behind Denbigh has two arms, one (left) points "To Coventry", the other (right) "To Lutterworth". On the right is a milestone, "XI miles to Coventry". The background is an undulating landscape of grass and trees with a rectangular country house in the distance."--British Museum online catalogue
