Description: Joseph Sedley is seated in a small, open, two-wheeled carriage pulled by a single horse. He holds the reins in his left hand with the whip raised high in his right as the buggy passes a post. At his side is seated another, unspecified, male figure in a tall hat. In the background can be seen the outside of some trees and two buildings. Too nervous to go see Becky Sharp in the drawing-room, he has decided to see a performance of Forty Thieves instead.
