A lady stands on a mound in profile to the left; a young military officer (left) fires a cannon from an embrasure, while another fires a trench-mortar at her from behind. Her dress caricatures the fashion for a very projecting breast, and a large protuberance at the back of the petticoats. She wears a hat with an enormous brim, her hands are in a large fur mutt. She resembles Mrs. Fitzherbert. At the foot of the mound a Cupid uses his arrow to undermine the ground on which she stands. Beneath the title is engraved: 
<p><br><br>'In vain Before the Fair one Arms, 
<br>With Breastworks high her panting charms, 
<br>In vain Behind yon Mount is plac'd, 
<br>Which Wits may say is Bum proof cas'd, 
<br>If parts More Weak to guard she fails, 
<br>Where artful Love by Mine assails. 
<br>Tho' Fox's Brush as Muff may warm 
<br>And snug conceal what all must charm, 
<br>Guard well that Pass: there lies the Proof 
<br>Jove! dearly lov'd a well Thatch'd Roof.'  16 May 1786
