Portrait of a Cleric; Standing Man in Animal Skins; Portrait of a Woma

A pen-and-ink sketch with grey wash shows two uniformed soldiers at left, one in a shako raising a rifle and the other stooping with a tool near the ground. Above them is a head of a man in a high collar, and at lower right a woman in a white Empire-style gown walks beside a small child before a dark wash landscape.

Look closer: A handwritten inscription reads 'Field officer of Royal Engineers & a private Sapper' beneath the soldiers.
