Prisoners of War (Persian), pencil drawing

A pencil drawing on pale paper shows a single standing figure seen head to toe, wearing a feathered headdress and a long garment decorated with rows of dots, scallops, and striped bands. The word "Persian" is handwritten in the lower left corner, and the sketch has light, loose linework.
