Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.
The interior of a barrack-room; ladies are fitting soldiers with warm caps and undergarments. All the men wear conical caps with ear-pieces, some arranged to resemble a fool's cap. The three ladies in the foreground are young and comely; of those in the background, one is enormously fat, others thin and witch-like. On the wall are two dilapidated prints: 'Hannibal' and 'Charles XII' (the head torn off), commanders noted for their disregard of severe weather. Beneath the title: 'To the benevolent Ladies of Great Britain, who have so liberally supported the new system of Military Cloathing [sic], this Print is dedicated -'
Peel, Robert, 1788-1850, former owner.
