Watercolour montage of five vignettes. At top left is a view of a figure comically riding a horse or donkey with his legs sticking out horizontally from the saddle. At centre left is a "lackree" vendor carrying a large bundle (possibly wool or straw) tied to his back. The head and shoulders profile portrait of "An Irani" at top right is based on the sketch of the flour-miller at Qasr-i-Shirin (at E-289-q-020). Beside him is a full length profile portrait of a woman walking carrying a scythe. She wears a headscarf, long tunic and loose red trousers visible at the ankle. The lower image is of trees, and is based on "In a Persian garden, Karind", at E-287-q-031.
