Infantry officers resting in Hyde Park, 1780. Sepia, wash & pencil drawing by Paul Sandby, 1780.
Two officers seated on the ground, one of them in a darker coatee sketching, perhaps the artist himself, who was at the time Chief Drawing Master at RMA Woolwich (1768-97). Two others to right standing, leaning against a large crate, and behind two curricles (covered wagons) and two gigs. Troops were encamped in several London Parks following the Gordon Riots of 1780.
