One of the wheels of this cart is labelled "Cheshire"; the cart is being pulled by a sow whose three babies are suckling her. The clergyman is kissing the girl and holding a glass in his right hand. A devil stands on the back of the cask looking over the clergyman's head and the tip of his tail is in the glass. A signpost to the right reads "To the Bottom". A boar follows the cart at a distance. In the distant background on the left is a church
