Summary
"A man wheels a wheelbarrow towards the spectator; his progress is impeded by two ladies who stand one on each side of him facing each other in profile; their enormously projecting breasts touch each other in front of the man's chest. They wear wide-brimmed hats and petticoats extended at the back."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later state.
