Pencil drawing on canvas of a weary soldier walking to the right. The soldier wears a hat, a bag on his back, a pouch on his belt, and carries a long rifle. He is shown from the side with his head down. The background features a blurred crowd of people and what appears to be a building or archway. The drawing style is sketchy with much of the canvas left empty. The painting is titled "La Retraite après Charleroi" by Auguste Louis Lepère.
