This pair of paintings depicts infantry exercises of the Austrian army. The first, Cavalry Parade, features the military review of a troop that may be the Grenzhusarenregiment (auxiliary troop of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria), based on the rider's uniform, sword in hand, located in the center of the composition. The second, Infantry Exercises, could be a representation of the 'Jung Modena' cavalry regiment. The monogram at the bottom of each painting could correspond to the figures of the coats of arms of a duke or a prince elector.
