Mon Caporal, je n'ai pu avons que ça

Horace Vernet

National Gallery of Art

In the image, there are men in military uniforms sitting and standing in a sketch-like illustration. The seated men are pointing and laughing at the soldier holding a birdcage. The men wear military-style uniforms with hats on the ground. The standing man wears a tall, ornate military cap and a long coat, holding a small birdcage. The background includes outlines of damaged buildings and other figures. The setting seems to be outdoors, possibly a battlefield.
