A village scene on a windy day with a young woman whose hat, cap and wig have been blown off and caught by her young male companion; she clutches her hands to her head and her skirts blow upwards revealing her calves; a dog runs excitedly beside her; an older couple in the background, to left, laugh at her; pasted to the wall of a cottage on the right is a note reading "A Lecture on Heads"."--British Museum online catalogue
