Scene showing Captain George Cadwalader commanding a drill of the mounted artillery troop of the Pennsylvania Militia on a large field near Powelton in West Philadelphia. Shows, in the foreground, Cadwalader, seated on his stead, and signaling a change of formation with his raised saber. Two officers, one blowing a bugle, trot behind him between two lines of men mounted on horses, seated in horse-drawn carriages, or pulling canons by horse-team. Other men on mounts, in carriages, and pulling cannons have broken from the old formation and fan out alongside the lines. The militia men wear blue uniforms comprised of trousers, jackets with epaulets, and tall shakos with plumes. In the background, clusters of trees and a residence with fenced property are visible.
