- Abstract
-
"Two elderly men, and four ladies, two very fat, are scattered over miry ground, some ankle-deep, and without shoes. One man hold his shoe, a young woman retrieves one from the mud. Four scampering pigs, beset by a dog, and two hissing geese, suggest a farm-yard. Wind aggravates the disaster; an umbrella is blown inside out, a hat and wig fly upwards. One woman has reached a gate (right) to which she clings."--British Museum online catalogue.
