Three caricatured women, with mountainous and feathered headdresses sit, feet in the air and hands clasped under their kness, floating down the Thames under the arches of a bridge, on their cork rumps. They are floating towards our right. At the extreme left three heads are blowing the wind that makes the ladies float. Five little ducks also appear in the lower left corner. This print may refer to the regatta at Richmond
