The Old Soldier - Berncastel

Alfred Cornelius Howland

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of an older man sitting on a bench. He faces slightly to the right and has a stern expression. The man is wearing a large-brimmed hat, a buttoned coat over a vest, shorts, visible socks, and buckled shoes. He is holding a walking stick in his right hand that rests on the ground, and his left hand rests on his knee. The background is plain.
