A very plump young woman in a bonnet stands in a park leaning forward into the wind ; her skirt is blown tightly around her backside and above her knees. Two foppish looking men eye her with amusement, the one using an eyeglass, the other holding his hat and wearing a long braided coat. Another couple on the right, struggle with an umbrella in the wind. Like the woman on the left, this woman's dress is also blown above her knees; her companion is dressed in wide trousers tied at the ankles. Between these two scenes, in the distance, a young woman walks along a rail toward the left struggling against the wind; a little black footboy follows her holding the hem of her skirt and her reticule. Beyond the rail another man and a woman struggle in the wind with their hats and she with her umbrella
