Description
The typically eccentric title of this delightful picture refers to the figure lower left who looks rather like a mole with his cap pulled over his eyes, about to confront posher countryfolk heading towards him in the opposite direction. The colourful steam-powered traction engine in the background is another classic Duranty touch.
