"A clumsy lumbering diligence, with four horses, leaves the porte-cochère of an inn, part of whose ornate façade is on the left. The sign, 'Le Qoque [sic] en Pate', hangs from a wrought-iron bracket. Two postilions ride the near horses, flourishing their whips. The coach is full inside and out with typical French characters, humorously drawn, soldiers, monks, and women, with couples absorbed in conversation. An old couple beg from the passengers. A lean sow with small pigs scampers beside the coach. In the background (left) is the west end of a small church with a Calvary beside it at which nuns kneel in prayer; a group of monks approaches holding a cross. Down the hill leading from inn and church a post-chaise and pair and a post-boy on a horse are galloping, the latter wearing the huge 'milk-churn' boots which astonished visitors to France. A row of very ancient gabled houses forms part of the background, while on the extreme right is a large building of more recent date."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The interior of a slatternly cottage. Three visitors, a well-dressed man in top-boots (Mr. Stewart), a comely woman (Mrs. Mason), and a fashionably dressed young girl (Mary Mason), stand before the fire surveying the disorder. The woman of the cottage (right) barefooted and brawny, sweeps the earth floor, looking over her shoulder at the lady, who asks: "Mistress Mclarty, why do you not make your Daughters assit [sic] you". She answers: "Indeed my Daughters can clean the House, or Milk the ky as wee'l as I can when they like but its no often that they will be Fashed". Two gawky shock-headed girls lounge with amused interest in the corner of the room (left). Two box-beds are on the right with household gear hanging over them, including twists of yarn, with a large cobweb against the wall. Small chickens peck at the contents of a large pot (a whey-pot) and plates on the floor. A cat laps from a bowl on a rough dresser above which plates and spoons are ranged. The doorway (left) gives immediately on to a pond in which ducks swim; beside it is a tall manure heap."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Near the wall ride two little chimney-sweeps on an ass, and a woman on a broken-kneed horse."--British Museum online catalogue
