A pencil drawing of a standing soldier on a piece of paper. The soldier is wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a jacket with buttons and shoulder straps, and a sash or strap across his chest. He is holding a long object, possibly a rifle or musket, in his right hand. The drawing is on off-white paper with a small number "67" written in the bottom left corner. The paper has three small holes along the top edge.
