Abstract:: "Copy of a French print. A fashionable promenade. Two men walk towards each other, each with a lady hanging to each arm, all have their faces concealed by some part of their dress, hat, or collar, or both. One man has a round hat, with a fantastically curved brim projecting downwards. The other has a huge crescent-shaped cocked hat with the peaks dipping over face and back. Both have high, stiff, pointed collars projecting above the high collars of coat and waistcoat. The ladies wear bonnets with projecting scoops or a straw hat with broad contorted brim, with high neck-ruffles. A couple walk arm-in-arm, and in the background two ladies walk away. Another lady sits alone under a tree (left). The men wear knee-breeches. The ladies wear or carry shawls with their trailing dresses; their flat slippers are en cothurne."--British Museum online catalogue
