"An old Parson, of Dr. Syntax type, falls into the water from his horse which rolls in the stream. His hat, wig, and 'Funeral Sermon' are in the water, where a dog chases geese. On a rustic bridge (right) two women and a child are watching in alarm, a milk-pail falls from the head of one of them. In the background (left) two horses gallop up a slope pursued by a dog, one rider loses his seat, the other his hat."--British Museum online catalogue
