"A Paris street. A young and handsome English couple walk arm-in-arm (right to left), the man well-dressed in top-hat, tail-coat, breeches, and top-boots, the lady simply and elegantly dressed in a high-waisted gown and plain bonnet. Four Parisiennes, ugly, bedizened, over-dressed, and round-shouldered, point and jeer. One holds by the hand a little girl, also pointing. A man, dishevelled and vulgarly smart, stares over his shoulder"--British Museum online catalogue

A single-horse carriage is stopped in front of a rustic inn or roadhouse, with two caricatured Frenchmen (one a postillion wearing enormous boots) engaged in changing out the horse. An occupant of the carriage hands money out the window to a peasant woman holding an infant and accompanied by a young boy; two other shabbily dressed figures are nearby next to a tree, one of them playing a makeshift drum. In the doorway of the building stands a young woman, and to the left a man under an archway stands with arms crossed; both watch the scene unfold. In the background a postillion rides away on horseback, whip extended into the air
