Abstract:: "A scene near the sea. Two naval officers carry off two plump and pretty girls and run towards a boat, where two sailors wait (left). They are followed by a fat old woman, screaming furiously and brandishing an umbrella. She runs (right to left) at the head of a flock of schoolgirls, mature young women, two and two, who watch their captured companions with excited envy. They emerge from a shady lane where a signpost points (right) to 'Mrs Crostich's Boarding School for Young Ladies'. In the foreground (right) a grotesque lean and elderly man has fallen in the chase, losing his hat and wig, but clenching a fist, and clutching his cane in frantic anger. A dog joins in the chase."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.
