She wears an enormous calash hood, see BMSat 5434, &c, and holds in her left hand a shepherdess's crook. Three men (left) ride side by side, from left to right, the nearest pulls on his reins, leaning back, the next looks at the lady through his spy-glass, the third, staring open-mouthed, lashes his horse. The horse of a stout man riding from right to left, immediately behind the lady, is rearing. In the foreground an old woman sits by the roadside with a sheaf of ballads or newspapers. Behind (left) are trees."--British Museum online catalogue, "A central three plate composition. Riders in Hyde Park. A fat coachman (right) rides (left to right) a coach-horse in blinkers, his mistress is seated behind him, in back-view, wearing an enormous calash hood, see British Museum Satires No. 5434, &c, and holding a fan. The horse has planted its forefeet on the ground, its rider is applying spurs and a coach-whip. On the left a lady and a slim and elegant young man are galloping from right to left; he turns towards her, she looks straight ahead. Behind them rides a groom.

He is probably a Frenchman. Two dogs worry at his coat, a larger one standing on its hind-legs, puts one paw on his chest, a fourth is biting his long pigtail queue. Three riders, riding from right to left, look with interest at the man and dogs. The foremost is a military officer in uniform, with holsters and rolled cloak on his saddle.
