"Satire on the newly-rich owner of a suburban villa and garden at Islington: an ill-dressed man stands facing front, legs apart leaning on a stick and staring angrily as he complains about damage to his property; his hat lies on the ground beside him; behind on the left is a gazebo raised on a pillar around which winds a staircase, on the right is an obelisk surmounted by a huge sphere; a high wall beyond."--British Museum online catalogue
