The plot has four rectangles of turf set in gravel which a fat man in a dressing-gown with a cloth tied over his head is rolling, a dog running in front. A fatter man in night-cap, shirt-sleeves, and waistcoat (split up the back) holds a pair of dumb-bells, turning to a young woman (left) who is sawing a log of wood supported on trestles. Beside the paling is a dove-cote on a pole."--British Museum online catalogueTitle etched below image.Text below title: Passing the worst part of a rainy winter in a country so inveterately miry as to imprison you within your own premises so that by way of exercise ...Restrike.
