"Sir David Dundas on horseback, in profile to the left, drills a line of cavalry at some distance. He holds a gold-headed cane in place of a whip and sits his horse in the manner of a bad rider. His foot is thrust forward so that his boot projects beyond the animal's chest (cf. Nos. 7233, 7242); he holds the curb rein only, and this is merely placed between his hand and the cane; the snaffle lies on the horse's neck. The animal is clumsy, with shaggy fetlocks. Under the saddle is a leopard-skin. Dundas is on rising ground above the level of the soldiers who are drawn up facing some tents."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later state of the same composition

"A spectacled man, wearing riding-dress with spurred top-boots, seizes a stout lady by the hair and flourishes a riding-whip, saying, "Pro bono Patriae". A younger man (left) puts his hand on his shoulder, saying, "I'll support you". He is wildly cheered by an election crowd (left), who wave their hats. The lady's feathered bonnet lies on the ground, her hair streams down her back, and she holds out her arms in terror. A group of cathedral clergy stand on the right watching with gestures and expressions of alarm and disapproval. Behind is a square church tower (right) with pinnacles."--British Museum online catalogue
