- Abstract
-
"A gaily-dressed young woman sculling a naval officer who sits in the stern, holding his cane in the water and looking through a single eye-glass at a swan accompanied by a cygnet. A King Charles dog puts its paws on the edge of the boat and looks at the swan. The admiral is in naval uniform with a pigtail queue. The lady wears a feathered hat tilted forward on her high-dressed hair and a low-cut bodice; on the stern of the boat is a design of a cupid riding on a dolphin. The water winds among lawns, trees, and bushes. In the middle distance two ladies are fishing; one holds a rod over the water, the other, seated beside her, holds up a fish."--British Museum online catalogue
