This sketch shows eight small scenes of people in military uniforms. Some stand tall, others slouch or kneel, all with different hats and gear. A horse lies on the ground in one corner, and a few figures look like they’re marching or resting. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and mood. The clothes and poses feel real but slightly exaggerated, like a mix of soldiers and everyday people. Next, check out how this artist used lithography to create these images.
