A man with a punt-pole directs the vessel from the stern.

In the third boat, which has a freight of wine-jars, a cook is preparing a bird for the grandee's supper.

The fourth boat contains three rowers, who possibly have the vessel of the grandee in tow.

The first and second boats are separated by two prancing steeds, the second and third by two cows, the third and fourth by a chariot and pair.

It is difficult to explain the mixture of the aquatic with the terrestrial in this piece; but perhaps the grandee is intended to be enjoying himself in a marshy part of his domain, where he might ride, drive, or boat, according to his pleasure.
