• Summary:"A parson in front of a house-door, rides facing the tail, which he holds. His wig is back to front and his hat flies off. A barking dog leaps at the horse. Four men are grouped by and on the steps: a fat man holds out a lantern and a pipe, another waves a punch-bowl. All are amused. A fifth man, apparently a parson, turns his back. The house is old-fashioned with mullioned window and arched doorway."--British Museum online catalogue.
