This painting shows a group of soldiers in old-style uniforms, standing close together. Their faces are serious, and the colors are mostly dull greys and browns with a few red caps. The background looks rough, like a rocky wall and open land. The brushstrokes are thick, making the figures look almost carved out of the paint. The lighting is uneven, with some faces half in shadow. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
