He has a black hat on his head and is holding a pipe in his right hand. The soldier on the right is dressed in a similar blue jacket with red and gold accents, but his pants are red and he has a black hat as well. He has his hands in his pockets. The background of the painting is a plain white wall with a few objects hanging on it, including what appears to be a bag or a cloak. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of relaxation and camaraderie between the two soldiers. The painting is held at the National Museum of Fine Arts Buenos Aires.
