Skirmishing to the rear (BM 1868,0808.4797)

A camp scene: a light dragoon has been unseated by his horse, which stands, head down, ears back, heels in the air; its rider clutches the mane and is about to fall over its head, his helmet is falling off. He is lacing a ragged woman (left), with a child on her shoulders, who is laughing at him, her arms akimbo. The soldier's carbine has been discharged by the accident, it is firing at a sign-board which hangs from a post (right). This is the head and shoulders of the Duke of Cumberland holding a staff ascribed, "The Duke of Cumberland Suttling House". On the right is a row of tents from which soldiers and women look on with amusement. 1 February 1782
