"Boswell and two men in Highland dress dance a Highland fling on the summit of a low mountain, with the sea and a low spur of land on the horizon. Boswell, full-face, capers; his wig and pendant ink-pot with the pen in it, stream in the wind. He flourishes his 'Journal'; his left hand is in that of one of his companions (right); the other (left) dances a 'pas seul' looking at Boswell; both hold long sticks. A piper on the extreme left, standing just below the summit of the hill, plays the pipes."--British Museum online catalogue

"Johnson (right) and Boswell (left) embrace; Boswell, his face hidden behind that of Johnson, holds up his hat as if in triumph. Johnson, wearing hat and boots, holds his oak stick; his eyes are closed; a large book protrudes from his coat-pocket. The post-boy (left) stands warming his back at the fire watching the embrace. A bare-legged man (right), scratching his tousled head, holds out a bowl to Boswell."--British Museum online catalogue
