- Abstract:
- "Three men, two on horseback, wearing new-fashioned hats. The centre figure is seen in back view on horseback, he wears a large hat with a high cylindrical crown round which are spaced six hat-bands. In the foreground (right) is a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat whose crown is shaped like an inverted flower-pot. He is looking through a small telescope. These two both carry knotted sticks. The third man who is cantering (left to right) in the middle distance (left) wears a similar hat. All three wear spurred top-boots in the fashion of the moment, with very long tops descending well below the calf of the leg."--British Museum online catalogue
