A group of sportsmen stand amongst the gravestones in a churchyard cemetary aiming their guns at a flock of birds. Their hunting dogs run toward the birds. In a grave behind a tombstone (left), a gravedigger cowers in fear, a skull and pick axe beside him. In the distance the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral (?).
