The boundary of Mr Hoggard's house is fenced. The surrounding bush and hill areas are untypically brown, for Wellington. In the foreground, riding along Lambton Quay, is a carriage pulled by two horses, carrying four people; the carriage is known to have belonged to William Barnard ('Barney') Rhodes, 1807-1878, and the carriage was distinctive for its yellow wheels.
