In his other a hand he is carrying a whip. A boy is seated next to him to his left. Behind are passengers smartly dressed, important lady and gentleman all wearing hats. Inside the carriage is a lady wearing a fancy pink and white dress, with her hand outstretched and lowered, pointing towards the children figures who are standing along the side of the road. At the back another gentleman in red uniform who is blowing a horn bugle. In the background, views of the countryside with rolling hills and a large stately home on the hill to the far right with birds in the sky above and deer below in the distance.
