Abstract:
A tall soldier with a pike in his right hand, holds in his left one the leading strings of a child officer. The officer, moving with an awkward gate, is trying to balance on his thigh a pole of an enormous British flag. His oversized sword dangles below his knees. Behind the two of them, in the background, several soldiers with muskets on their shoulders march by.
