His coat is curiously cut, his (striped) waistcoat longer and breeches shorter than the contemporary fashion. He wears a neck-cloth and shoes. His gait is slouching and his dress rather slovenly. Clouds form a background."--British Museum online catalogue

"A sea-side scene on a hot day. The centre figure is a tall young woman, in a muslin dress with bare arms and neck, holding an open parasol and a patterned scarf. A fat 'cit' trudges along, much distressed; he mops his bald head, holding his hat with his wig inside it. A family party, forbidding and censorious, is grouped on the left, with a panting dog. In the middle distance are the sands with pedestrians fashionably dressed, and a barefooted fisher-boy with a net. Bathing-machines are in the sea, with tiny figures in the water; another with a horse is about to enter the water."--British Museum online catalogue

A jovial countryman leans on a rustic railing next to a tree, to address a fat elderly parson on horseback (riding to the left). He asks, "Ha! Ha, the knaust Doctor I be a rum fellow, Canst thee tell me why a parsons horse be like a king?" The parson answers with a grin, "Why you rogue, because it is guided by a minister." He is red-faced and freckled and prosperous looking, with a round belly; he carries a sermon in his pocket whose title is "Sermon to be prea[ched] ..."
