The image depicts a sketch by Jean Louis Forain titled "In Greece". The scene shows a man in military uniform with a rifle on his back, standing on the right side, looking down at a group of people on the left. The group on the left consists of a woman sitting on the ground with her head covered and a child on her lap, and another person, possibly a child, sitting on the ground to the left. The background features a mountainous landscape with a few trees. The sketch is drawn in black pencil on a beige background, with a small red signature in the bottom-right corner.
