Description: | This painting shows a soldier telling his enthralled audience stories about his life. Edward Bird was highly influenced by the small informal scenes of peasant life painted by Adriaen van Ostade and other 17th century Dutch and Flemish artists, as well as by the 18th century artists Francis Wheatley and William Hogarth, and his largest and most artistically successful group of paintings dealt with domestic subjects.
