A military officer on a heavy cavalry horse, rides unconcernedly past a man whom he has knocked down. He wears a hat with a cockade, a sabre, cavalry boots, and a large nosegay. His hair is in a large macaroni club, tied with ribbons. In his right. hand he flourishes a short-handled whip with a long lash. His horse has a flowing mane and tail.
<p><br>Behind the horse the prostrate man (r.) looks round with a face of fury. He has a wooden leg which has been broken in his fall. Both hands are outstretched on the tray which he has been carrying, on which are a number of overturned and broken jelly-glasses.
<br>In the upper right. corner of the plate is a club of hair under which is engraved: "Club the First Both Natural &amp; Artificial Flowing from Simple Nature The Size, about two thirds of his Carcase Weighs . Upwards of five pounds when full Dress'd &amp; truss'd up with Powder Lambs Wool Horse &amp; Asses hair Eau de Mille fleurs &amp;c. &amp;c. &amp;c. &amp;.c. &amp;c. &amp;c." 1 May 1773
