- Abstract
-
Depicts a young lady, fashionably dressed, walking and carrying an enormous parasol to cover her monumental hair, which is dressed in the extravagant heart-shaped style of the period, with curls on the sides, flowers and ostrich plumes at the top. She also apparently wears the fashionable cork bustle, with the back of her protruding skirt providing a ledge on which a "foppishly dressed man" is seated, sheltered by her hair and umbrella. On the left in front of the lady a rustically dressed man has dropped his hat in amazement, while behind her a gentleman in a tricorne hat and leaning on a walking stick points and laughs at the spectacle
