Abstract: "Three brothers, with similar but identical profiles, sit squeezed together in a small rustic phaeton drawn (left to right) by three prancing goats, two being wheelers. The driver is nearest the spectator; all have leeks in their round hats; that of the driver has also the motto 'Ich dien'. On the phaeton are the initials 'WWW'; at the back is a large trunk. In the background is a craggy mountain on which goats are standing. A signpost (left) points 'To Wynnstay'."--British Museum online catalogue
