"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
