- Abstract
-
"A sailor by the sea-shore sits a horse that refuses to move; a dog snaps at its head. A fat woman (left) raises a broom to beat its hindquarters. On the left is an old-fashioned waterside inn with a notice: 'Neat Chaises and Saddle horses to lett by the Widow Cary'. At the door are sailors and their women, one of whom, flamboyantly dressed, stands with arms akimbo smoking a pipe. On the water are men-of-war at anchor."--British Museum online catalogue
