A soldier relating his exploits in a tavern, 1821

This painting depicts a veteran of Waterloo regaling his fellow tavern-goers with tales of past glory. Here, we take a closer look to discover what the artwork tells us about soldiers and society in the wake of the Napoleonic Wars.
Come and see it on display in our Soldier gallery, alongside other items that provide insights into the transition from military to civilian life.
