Minerva (?) in a soldier's coat and grenadier's cap, inscribed "J.R."

A basket and his hat are on the ground. In the foreground his dog chases the peacock and the owl. Two doves fly over the head of Venus. Two broadsides are pasted on the cottage wall: one headed "Gods . . ." the other, "Thos the Wood Lous" (?). Mountains are indicated in the background."--British Museum online catalogue
