"A smartly dressed and vulgar man rides in profile to the left a small thick-set horse which he attempts to turn to the left by pulling the reins on the on side, while the off reins lie on the animal's neck. He also flicks the horse's head with the lash of his whip. In the background is a paling above which appear scarecrows and the windlass of a well."--British Museum online catalogue.
