Description
A lady seated on a settee (right) looking towards three yokels who stand before her (left). She is wearing riding-dress of a military cut, an officer's coat with epaulettes, and a gorget, the sign of an officer on active service. A bunch of seals hangs from her double-breasted waistcoat. She wears a large feathered hat with a military cockade, and holds a tasselled cane under her left arm. She is addressing a young man wearing spatterdashes and holding his hat, he smiles sheepishly. Another young man wearing a hat stands behind him (left), one hand on his shoulder. The third, wearing a smock frock, holds his hat to his mouth, grinning. Outside the window (left) are the tents of the camp. 4 June 1781. Hand-coloured mezzotint.
