About this work

This lithograph shows a man in military uniform standing in profile. He wears a top hat and has a sword. The background is plain, which makes the man stand out. The man's pose and expression are interesting. He seems to be thinking about something, and his profile view makes him look a bit mysterious. This makes you wonder what he's thinking about.
