This engraving, based on Frederick Goodall’s original painting and engraved by Francis Croll, depicts a heartwarming rural scene featuring a weary soldier resting at a village well. A young woman draws water as a small child offers the soldier a drink, while villagers and a donkey laden with goods observe the moment. A dog sits by the soldier’s side, adding to the sense of domestic warmth. The composition reflects themes of compassion, rest, and the intersection of military and civilian life, rendered in a naturalistic style that captures the sentimentality and social narrative typical of Victorian-era art.
