Engraving of a grey pony loaded with bags beside a Gothic stone doorway, with two spaniels at its feet and a stormy sky behind.

A white pony and two dogs (field spaniels?) wait by a carved stone (church?) doorway. Engraving by W. Raddon after A. Cooper, 1827.

A grey pony stands in profile beside a Gothic stone doorway, loaded with a saddle bag and game bag, while two spaniels with dark patches wait at its feet. A rifle leans against the wall, and stormy clouds fill the sky behind. The scene is rendered as a black-and-white engraving with fine hatched shading.
