Created between 1816 and 1822, this pen and ink sketch showcases Wilkie's meticulous attention to detail. In this preliminary drawing, we see a group of Chelsea Pensioners engrossed in reading the news about the historic Battle of Waterloo.

One figure holds a baby on his lap while his wife sits beside him, emphasizing the familial bonds that endure even in times of war. Wilkie masterfully captures both individual expressions and collective emotions within this composition. Each face tells its own story - some filled with pride or curiosity, others reflecting memories or contemplation.
