Abstract: "A cart has been upset into the river close to Putney Bridge. The head and shoulders of a stout man, one hand raised sanctimoniously, emerge from the water; his fat wife falls head-foremost on his back, her legs much displayed; she clutches the queue of his wig. The horse (left) stands quietly in the water behind the cart (right) which is tilted into the water at a steep angle. In the background is Putney Bridge (left) and the tower of Fulham or Putney church (right)."--British Museum online catalogue.
