Summary
Satire on German mercenaries fighting for Britain; a cottage interior with a nurse rocking a cradle in which a Hessian soldier lies with the white horse of Hanover (a label states that 80 crowns will be paid if he dies); a Hessian grenadier sits by the fire (a label states that 30 crowns will be paid if he dies); a large print of a soldier pasted to the wall alludes to Charles XII of Sweden; beyond is a view of a village where sacks are being filled with money for the mercenaries.
