Abstract: "Five passengers sit together on a bench against the side of a ship, all but a small boy, seemingly a mulatto, manifesting misery or resignation. The others (left to right) are a woman shrouded in black except for her chin, a planter in a long coat and broad-brimmed hat, his wife's arm through his. A fat and hideous negress, awkwardly asleep. The deck is level."--British Museum online catalogue
