Soldiers by Adolph von Menzel: A pencil sketch on off-white paper depicting a line of soldiers in uniform. The soldier on the right is on horseback, wearing a helmet and holding a long object. Four soldiers on the left are standing, wearing tall hats and holding long spears or rifles. The two central figures are more defined, with one holding a spear in front of him and the other standing with his hands at his sides. The sketch is roughly drawn with minimal detail and shading.
