Design in a circle. A highwayman has stopped a couple who have been driving in a two-wheeled gig. He stands behind the horse aiming a candlestick as if it were a pistol, in his left hand is a netted purse. His victim stands up in the gig, his waistcoat-pockets turned out, his hands outstretched, with an expression of distress, his attitude implying that he has given up all his possessions. His hat and whip lie on the ground, and with them a miniature violin, or dancing-master's kit, and bow.  A fat woman has just clambered out of the gig, her left foot is on the shaft, her right on the ground, and she appears to be taking cover behind the vehicle. The horse stands quietly, the reins hang to the ground. The scene is a country road, on the left is a milestone inscribed "11 Miles", and a group of trees; on the right is a signpost.  1 November 1781
