Summary
A very corpulent couple facing left, promenade arm in arm. The gentleman, behind the woman, wears a military coat, ruffled shirt and a tricorne hat with a bow on the front. He carries a walking stick, and the pommel of his sword is just visible behind the voluminous dress of his wife, whose face is nearly hidden in an enormous calash hat of the period.
