Abstract:

"Johnson is seated on the ground on the shore of the Firth of Forth; Boswell kneels upon him and playfully holds a fish to his open mouth, holding back the head of his unwilling friend. Behind Johnson stands Ritter, turning his back on the scene. Boswell, with Ogden under his arm, is dressed as in BMSat 7031, &c. In the middle distance (right) are three fishwives, grinning and pointing; they resemble Rowlandson's Billingsgate women. Two persons are in a boat or punt. On the horizon is the opposite shore."--British Museum online catalogue.
