Abstract: "A copy of a Rowlandson watercolour, see British Museum Satires No. 11111. A man in hunting-dress stands on the back of his spirited horse to embrace a young woman who leans from a casement window. An elderly gap-toothed man wearing a night-cap peers from the cottage door with an imbecile gape. The hounds are in full cry beside the horse. A fat parson and a huntsman, much amused, turn in their saddles to watch the embrace. They are passing a village church."--British Museum online catalogue
