Roberts, depicting a group of six men in seventeenth century half-armour, steel breast plates and gorgets over their buff jerkins and steel morions walking out of the woods into a snow-covered field. Possibly a troop of Cromwell's troops in the English Civil War led by a man wearing snow-shoes, a cloak and a black puritan-style hat.
