A parson stands in profile to the left, holding a paper at which he glares angrily through a single eye-glass. Facing him impassively stands a yokel with tousled hair wearing a smock and gaiters, his hat under his arm, a tall stick in his left hand. The vicar wears an old-fashioned coat, high-quartered shoes, and a gaping waistcoat; a cocked hat, gloves, and cane, show an attempt at fashionable dress. The paper is inscribed: 'Tithe Table Greens . . . Carrots . . . T[urn]ips . . . Apples'. Beneath the design is etched:
<p><br><br>'Then the Vicar
<br>"Full of fees customary, with his burying gloves; 
<br>"Jealous of his rights, and apt to quarrel; 
<br>"Claiming his paltry penny farthing tithes 
<br>"E'en at the Lawyers price'  1 December 1790
