Abstract: "A park scene with many figures. Fashionably dressed pedestrians promenade on the grass beyond a sandy track or road in the foreground. A dandy (cf. No. 13029) drives a high-stepping horse in a two-wheeled curricle, with a groom beside him. He is followed (left) by a dandy on horseback who turns towards a promenading pair. There are two officers in uniform, one tall, wearing a huge bearskin, the other small, wearing plumed shako. A (?) footboy leads a dog. Perhaps a companion plate to No. 14078."--British Museum online catalogue
