Doctor Drainbarrel Conveyed Home in order to Take His Trial for Neglect of Family Duty — Thomas Tegg|Thomas Rowlandson

A plump doctor is pushed down a hill in a wheelbarrow by a countryman. His wife walks beside the wheelbarrow, holding his wig, hat, and stick, and angrily threatens him with her fist, while a dog runs in front. At left in the background is an inn with villagers seated outside.
