Abstract: "No. 4; scene at the door of a rustic inn, a large Union Jack floating over the doorway. An officer puts a cocked hat on the head of an ungainly yokel; another flirts with a pretty girl; they sit together on a bench (right), a dog gazing up at them. A smart drummer-boy beats his drum; behind, a peasant in a smock wears a cocked hat. In the doorway the fat host pours out wine; the sign is 'The Old Flask'. In the background (right) a sergeant drills a very awkward squad of four."--British Museum online catalogue
