- Abstract:
- "Satire on village life. A country fair in which three young women are running for the prize of a smock; the third in line has tripped over a dog and is being helped up by a man. In the foreground, left to right: a young couple embrace beneath two trees hung with drapery; a small girl fills a mug of beer from a cask on which leans the village constable, asleep, with an empty mug in his lap; a small girl beside him holds a book lettered, "Compleat Peace Off[ice]r."; a dog steals food from a plate discarded on the ground; an old man stands on tip-toe holding his eye-glass to read a notice lettered, "To be Run for by Men in Sacks, A Flitch of Bacon on Tuesday next" which is pinned to one of the trees; a sailor sits on a branch of the tree holding up the hem of the prize smock which hangs on a pole at either end of which is a three-cornered hat; another sailor lounges on the ground looking at the runing women, a large jug near his foot; a chimney boy grabs a gingerbread crown from a boy who is holding a donkey by a chain; a small girl holds a younger child who waves another gingerbread crown while a dog jumps up to reach it. Behind the area roped off for the race is a crowd of spectators and a farm cart which a woman climbs into with the help of two men and another woman already in the cart; a man with a cockade in his hat waves a small flag on a pole, perhaps indicating the start of the race; a larger flag with a cross flies behind; other villagers are gathered in and around a makeshift tent; a one-horse carriage driven by a woman and carrying a gentleman comes into the scene from the right; behind the carriage two men are fencing. Women watch from upper windows of a large house in the background; on its walls are two bird-bottles and a dove-cote which a cat is eyeing with interest from a window sill; beyond is a windmill."--British Museum online catalogue

- Three men examine a curious head, which the man on the left is lifting off a low pedestal. The head has hollow eyesockets, is missing the nose, but has a moustache and wears what purports to be a crown.

The fat man on our right is a portrait of Francis Grose, antiquarian and draughtsman. He holds a magnifying glass in his right hand and what looks like a small carved animal [possibly an armadillo?] in his left hand over the head
