"The mother sits beside an open work-table, receiving the children whom a black footman ushers in, looking round the door and grinning broadly. The eldest girl has rushed into her mother's arms; a little boy stands beside her, gleefully welcoming a younger girl who is running forward. The eldest boy, on whom his mother's eyes are fixed, advances nonchalantly, blowing a trumpet. A cockatoo screeches on its perch. There are two pictures: Harvest Home and Happy Return, a woman at her cottage door greeting a youth."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A man rides (right to left) a violently shying horse, passing on the near side a two-wheeled farmer's cart, driving left to right, in which are seated a man and woman, the backs of their heads being visible. The front part of the cart is cut off by the right edge of the design. The horseman wears a naval uniform, his hat flies off, he tugs at his rein with both hands. He is attempting to pass between the cart and a steep bank. At the back of the cart a goose puts its head through a basket to hiss at the horse. A dog barks at the bird."--British Museum catalogue
