You see two people in fancy military clothes, with big hats and helmets. They look funny, with lots of details on their uniforms. The artist made these uniforms look really silly on purpose, which is interesting because it shows how people might have felt about military fashion back then. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: lithography.
