Crimean Braves — Men of the Trenches and Battlefields in the Crimea

Joseph Cundall and Robert Howlett

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three men in military uniforms, seated closely together. Each man is holding a rifle, with a third rifle resting horizontally across their laps. The central figure appears slightly taller and further back than the other two. All three have full beards. The central man wears a fur hat, while the others have shorter hair. They have buttons, sashes, and multiple medals on their chests. Belts and one man's ammunition pouches are visible. The setting seems to be indoors, with a plain backdrop and a fragment of a wall or pillar on the left side.
