The artwork is a poignant representation of John Manners, Marquess of Granby, who was a celebrated British soldier and philanthropist known for his compassion towards his men.

The painting depicts the Marquess, in military attire, attending to a sick or injured soldier, showcasing the nobleman's renowned benevolence and concern for the welfare of his troops.

Edward Penny's work is significant for its social commentary and for reflecting the values of the time, particularly the ideal of the compassionate leader. The painting is an early example of the sentimental genre that became popular in the late 18th century, which aimed to evoke an emotional response from the viewer and promote moral virtues.
