Portrait of Two Illinois Cavalrymen

American 19th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image features a vintage portrait of two individuals standing side by side. Both persons have short hair and wear military uniforms with dark coats, gold trim, and buttons. They wear hats tilted to the side and hold swords - one rested on the ground and the other by their side. The individuals have neutral expressions and appear youthful. The backdrop is plain, and the portrait is enclosed in a decorative golden frame.
