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.

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 deers below in the distance.
