This sketch shows two soldiers in a simple, loose style. They're wearing uniforms and hats, and one is holding a long object, possibly a rifle. The background is a plain beige color. To the left of the soldiers, there's a tall, thin pole with a rectangular sign or placard on top. The overall mood of the sketch is somber and serious. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this sketch, you might want to look up Forain, Jean-Louis.
