Abstract:
"A small ugly man trots (left to right) deprecatingly beside his wife, a large, over-dressed, scowling termagant, on their Sunday outing. He carries her umbrella, cloak, pattens, and a bundle in a check handkerchief. She holds a fan. An elderly man (right) walking in the opposite direction looks angrily at the couple; he swaggers in front of his pretty young wife, who appears pregnant and walks carrying a little girl and an umbrella. Behind them is an inn with the sign: 'The Old Swant [sic] Ordinary on Sunday'. A couple sit on a bench."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A man and woman sit facing each other beside the counter, which stretches across the design; he holds a jelly-glass and puts a spoonful to her mouth; she sits with open mouth and folded arms, a closed fan in one hand. A third customer leans on the counter, holding a jelly-glass and admiring through a lorgnette his own reflection in a mirror; this is the centre of the wall behind the counter, dividing two sets of shelves on which are neatly ranged canisters, glasses, packets, &c. A shop-girl (right) also gazes at the pair. All are fashionably dressed."--British Museum online catalogue
