JG Baroque says:
This is a fife & drum arrangement I made of the French folk song "Auprès de ma Blonde" ("Next to My Girl"), also known as "Le Prisonnier de Hollande" ("The Prisoner of Holland"), a song from the late 17th century, when many French soldiers were captive in the Netherlands as a result of the Franco-Dutch War. The image shows the French forces of Louis XIV crossing the Rhine in the first year of the war, with a massive force of about 40 000 men. The painting was made by the French painter Joseph Parrocel in 1699.
