Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

The image shows two figures in full body view, both positioned as if marching. The person on the left is larger, has a prominent chin, furrowed brows, and a serious expression. Their hair is short and light. They wear a military-style uniform with a hat, a white cross belt, and boots, carrying a rifle on their shoulder. The figure on the right is smaller, wears a similar military-style uniform with a hat and a sword, and marches alongside the larger figure. In the background, there is a sketched interior scene with large, indistinct shapes suggesting walls, and a ground paved with cobblestones.
