The original work from which the present lot is a copy seems to be an oil study by Wilkie in the collection of the Yale Centre for British Art, New Haven, Connecticut. This study being a slightly different version of the fully worked oil which hangs in the Duke of Wellington's London residence, Apsley House.
The subject is that of the tavern dwellers next to the Chelsea Pensioners Hospital receiving the despatch following the Battle of Waterloo.
