"Falstaff and the Recruits" is a painting by John Cawse, created around 1818, which depicts a scene from William Shakespeare's play "Henry IV, Part II." In this artwork, Cawse illustrates a humorous and pivotal moment involving Sir John Falstaff, one of Shakespeare's most celebrated and complex characters. Falstaff is shown reviewing a group of comically unsuitable recruits he has gathered for the King's army. This scene captures Falstaff's roguish charm and the social commentary of the play, highlighting the disparities and ironies of the recruitment process in a time of war.

John Cawse, primarily known for his portraits and genre scenes, utilizes his skill to bring Shakespeare's characters to life with vivid expression and detailed characterization. The painting serves not only as a visual representation of the play but also as an exploration of 19th-century British art's engagement with literary themes. "Falstaff and the Recruits" is significant for its artistic merit and for contributing to the visual culture surrounding Shakespearean interpretations during the Romantic period.
