Men, horses, and (mongrel) dogs in wild but spirited confusion in a forest glade pursue a cow (left); the stag is in the background running in the opposite direction, followed by one man on foot. One horse and rider struggle in a ditch while a second horse, which has kicked off its rider, leaps on top of them. A bald John Gilpin clasps his mount round the neck. In the foreground four men over-weight a two-wheeled cart drawn by a wretched but galloping jade. See British Museum catalogue

"'Cits' gallop (right to left) across a rough field near London, with one or two mongrel dogs under the horses' hooves. One leaps a small piece of water over the head of a man who has fallen in. A fat man is flung upwards from his prostrate horse. In the background is a 'cit's country box' surrounded by a wall, above which projects a gazebo, in the Chinese taste (cf. No. 8208 by Bunbury). Tiny figures watch from a window and from the wall. Near the wall ride two little chimney-sweeps on an ass, and a woman on a broken-kneed horse."--British Museum online catalogue
