"A man walks away from the spectator, slightly to the right, showing a whiskered right cheek. He wears a high round hat with a curved brim, sparrow-tail coat, and spurred top-boots. His shoulders are sprinkled with hair-powder (see BMSat 8190, &c). In his right hand is a riding-switch. He is in shadow. On the extreme right is the arm and left leg of a man in the exact position of his shadow, dressed in the same way."--British Museum online catalogue
