The interior of a cottage, where a nurse, with "Hired for four years" written on her cap, is shown rocking a cradle, in which are a Hessian soldier and his horse.

Through the door are seen an English village, with a tavern, the "Flying Horse", a reference to Hanover, and more Hessian soldiers, with sacks filled and being filled are also seen. The sacks are inscribed, "1500 yearly", "2500 if we go". On the wall hangs a portrait of a soldier in the act of saluting.
