In a lonely corner of a wood, squire Thornhill, dressed in a red coat, and kneeling on one knee, clasps Olivia’s right hand, which she is endeavouring to withdraw. She is dressed in a white gown and a broad-brimmed straw hat; her fair hair falls in curls on her shoulders.

In front of a cottage, partly hidden by trees, the gamekeeper, the bridle of his poney round his right arm, holds up with his left hand a pheasant, to show it to his wife, seated in front of the cottage-door, a child in her lap. By her side, a little boy and a girl are playing with a dead hare. An older boy is standing on the farther side, and four dogs are grouped in a half-circle before their master.
