Tavern scene
This drawing by Marcellus Laroon the younger from the Tate Collection is pleasant and interesting - not sure as to the date but it looks early 18th century. Are they military figures on the left?
There's a similar drawing that shows an early hussar (wolfskin instead of pelisse sort) dancing and drinking with a woman who has one breast hanging out of her dress. I don't know if it has any tricorne troops at the same tavern, but maybe I can find it.
