Depiction: Four sailors mounted on horseback are going off on an equestrian cruise by the seashore. The British Tar most at his ease has been lashed with strong cables to the back of his steed beyond a chance of drifting loose. His neighbor has a restive horse. A third, riding behind, is mounted on an animal who is taking into his head to launch out in the rear. A comrade, having had a spill, has been left on the road, and is in danger of being run over.
Signed in plate, lower left: "Rowlandson scul.".
