Army Encampment, graphite sketch of soldiers

A loose graphite sketch on pale pasteboard shows several figures in military-style caps and coats among tents and rough diagonal lines suggesting tent poles and branches. One seated figure in a hat sits at lower right, while a standing soldier occupies the center. The lines are light, quick, and largely unfinished.
