"A scene in Hyde Park. Two dandies (see No. 13029) approach a woman in grotesquely fashionable dress, one from the left, the other from the right; she walks in back view through an opening in the rails, in the direction of a sign-post pointing 'To the Artillery Ground', but looks alluringly over her shoulder at the man on the left who leans eagerly towards her. The other stares through a glass."--British Museum online catalogue

In a country landscape, a man and a young woman in riding habit ride together (left to right) on a white horse, passing a signpost that reads (left) "To London" and (right) "To Newbury and Well Hall". She sits in front, holding the reins and riding astride. She holds up a purse in her left hand saying, "This will pay you for your Trouble Honey". The man sits behind, his feet in the stirrups, his left hand on the woman's waist; he says, "Promise me that and I will never say another Mass". The man wears ordinary riding-dress; the woman wears a feathered hat over a frilled cap, and a tight coat over a ruffled shirt. Behind them (left) walks a young woman, wearing a cap of lace and ribbons; she holds her apron to her eye, saying, "The Old witch is carrying away my Director". The words issue from the speakers' mouths on long scrolls. In the foreground (left) is a tree; the background is an undulating landscape with a square church tower and the roofs of a village among trees

A young woman, evidently tired from raking hay, lies sleeping against a haystack, her hat and rake by her side, near a country cottage with a signboard advertising "Lodgings for travellers." A young man, booted and spurred, has come upon the scene and leans on his horse admiring her, as her dog snarls protectively at the newcomer
