43. The Sleeping Soldier. An Interior, with a company of
three persons : one of whom is a stout military officer, wearing
a cuirass, over a buff jerkin, the sleeves of which are banded
with gold lace. He is seated with his arms folded, fast asleep ; at
his right stands a female, dressed in a morone-coloured velvet
jacket, bordered with ermine, amusing herself by tickling his
lips with a hair, the effects of which appear to amuse a trum-
peter, who stands on the right, dressed in the rich costume of
the period, and holding in his hand a trumpet, mounted with
yellow silk and tassels, and a hat under his arm.
In the possession of Mr. Brown, 1830.

a page: one of the former, attired in white satin, is seated,
holding a music-paper in her hand, from which she appears to
be singing, while the second lady, standing on the farther side
of a covered table, accompanies her on a guitar. Behind the
former lady is a page, habited in the fanciful dress of the
