A sailor seated on a sorry-looking horse rides from left. to right. along a country road. In his right. hand he holds the horse's tail, in his left. a long horn which he is blowing. The harness is of rope with pulleys; a rope attached to the horse's head is round the rider's waist. Round the horse's neck is wound a coil of rope attached to an anchor; its head is decorated with a Union flag, another flag is on the sailor's cap. The rider's r. foot is in a rope-ladder which takes the place of a stirrup. The heads and fore-legs of a pair of horses, on one of which a postilion is riding, advance into the picture from the right. 2 March 1772
