- The interior of a poor wooden house, a parson's family of four gather around a table covered in a tablecloth worn with holes. They are eating beans, while he sits on the right, gnawing a bone; his wife (left) nurses the youngest child. Behind her on the wall are two shelves of books above which hangs a bird in a birdcage. To her left, the curtains around the canopy bed are also torn. A small cat (foreground) looks up at the parson. On the floor beside the parson's chair lies a sheaf of papers with the title "Charity sermon".

- Abstract:
- "A girl, in profile to the left, seated on the box-seat of a four-wheeled cart drawn by a pair of horses. She is receiving a driving-lesson from a man who sits behind her on the edge of the cart in which is a sheaf of straw. On the side of the cart is a board inscribed "Tom Longtrot's Academy for Young Ladies. Driving taught to an Inch, Ladies compleatly finish'd in a fortnight, for Gig, Whiskey, or Phaeton: Single Lesson half a Crown, Five for half a Guinea". The girl holds whip and reins very awkwardly, the hind wheel passes over one of a litter of small pigs which is with a sow in the foreground. A short stout citizen (left) clutches a post or mile-stone in alarm at the prospect of being run over. The driver wears an elaborate hat with feathers and a muslin dress, very unlike the dress of the fashionable women-whips of the day, cf. BMSat 6114. Beneath the title is engraved, "Hammersmith Turnpike", and,"When once the Women taken the Reins in hand, 'Tis then too true, that Men have no command." Behind the cart the upper part of the toll-house appears, with the head of a grinning spectator, probably the toll-keeper. By the toll is a large rectangular Georgian house with a square pillared porch inscribed "WILL-SON". This is the inn, The Bell and Anchor, at the corner of Blyth Road close to Olympia"
