The image shows a group of soldiers and a commanding officer all from the waist up. Four soldiers are hunched over, each holding a long weapon, and wearing long coats and helmets with tall, pointed tops. Their facial features are exaggerated with sunken cheeks and prominent chins as they appear to be gazing downward. To the right stands a commanding officer facing the soldiers. He is standing upright with his right arm across his waist, and he wears an elaborate uniform with epaulets and a large hat adorned with a plume. The officer’s facial features include a prominent mustache and a pointed nose. The background of the image consists of faint text.
