An overturned cart on a country road leading to a camp (right). The cart lies on its side as does the horse; its occupants, four men, two women and a boy, lie on the ground or fall on each other, one, the driver (right) has fallen into a stream which is in the foreground of the design and runs beside the road. Another man with a wooden leg appears about to fall in. The cart is two-wheeled, shaped like a box, with planks across it for seats. The men appear to be citizens, the women are perhaps courtesans. Two young pigs (left) run away from the cart, the boy falls against one of them.
<p><br>A man and woman ride pillion away from the camp (right to left), in the opposite direction from that in which the cart was driving. A signpost points (left) to the camp, "To..." [word erased, the traces resemble "Coxheath"].
<br>A party of soldiers are cooking over a camp-fire in the middle distance (right), and behind them soldiers are being drilled. The scene is a wooded landscape, with fields and hedges, resembling the scenery of Kent, and is possibly intended for the Maidstone district near Coxheath. In the foreground (right), by the stream is an enormous thistle.  c.1780
