This is a history painting depicting a Parliamentarian soldier held captive by a group of Royalists. It takes place in an interior with wood-timbered walls and floor, with the prisoner bound to a chair on the left, facing a row of Royalist soldiers seated along a bench to the right. They are all wearing their uniform of a white shirt with red breeches. Some are wearing red waistcoats and hats. The table on the far right behind the bench bears the remains of a meal.
