A fashionably dressed young woman, shown three-quarters length directed to left, wearing a muff, leaning against the plinth of a classical urn and looking towards the viewer; barren trees and two men guiding a horse-drawn plough through a field in the background to right. Carington Bowles (1724 - 1793) was a British print publisher active in London. He was the son of the publisher John Bowles (1701 - 1779) to whom he was apprenticed in 1741, and with whom he was in partnership as John Bowles & Son, at the Black Horse, Cornhill, London, from c.1752 to c.1762. He left in order to take over the business of his uncle, Thomas Bowles II in St Paul's Churchyard. When Carington died in 1793 the business passed to his son Henry Carington Bowles.
