A recruiting sergeant pours coins into the hand of a yokel (right) seated at a trestle-table outside an inn, and chucks him under the chin. The recruit wears the sergeant's cocked hat. The table, and the side of the settle on which he sits, conceal from the sergeant the recruit's wooden leg. A young man seated opposite to him, drinking, looks over his shoulder and points out the wooden leg. The drummer (left) stands behind the sergeant beating his drum. On the extreme left is the door of the inn in which stands the stout landlord. Trees form a background. L. and W., No. 70.  10 March 1791
