Soldier with Sword and Pipe, graphite sketch

A pencil sketch on pale paper shows a standing male figure in profile, wearing a visored cap and a short jacket with a belt. He holds a pipe in his mouth and a long sword angled down along his leg, with a tassel hanging from the hilt. Loose, quick lines suggest a study rather than a finished drawing.
