- Abstract
-
"Three soldiers stand at attention outside a tent (right) holding bayoneted muskets. Two wear high plumed busbies, the third a laced three-cornered hat. The officer facing them (left), holding a musket without a bayonet against his shoulder, gives the word of command. A stout man and a fat woman stand behind him. In the foreground (right) a drummer boy, sitting on the ground, one arm resting on his drum, puts a plumed busby on the head of a dog. Two rough-looking men wearing ribbon favours in their hats, probably intended for Gordon Rioters, point jeeringly at the three soldiers. In the background are trees."--British Museum online catalogue
