He wears a coachman's caped coat and top hat with a large whip in his hand. Two grooms follow behind and a coach drives past in the opposite direction

Abstract:
"A road-side scene; two horsemen stand by their horses outside a farrier's shed (left). One horse is held by a youth, the farrier stands beside it arguing with the rider who stands with his whip under his arm. The second (right) stands behind, beside his horse's head (its body being cut off by the right margin of the print), looking gloomily down at his watch. The shed is an open stone building with a pent-house roof; a farrier's hand and arm are just visible within it. Behind is a church tower among trees, its clock pointing to 8 o'clock. A sign-post (right) points 'To Liverpool xv Miles'. In the foreground (left) lies a dog."--British Museum online catalogue
