An Unusual and Interesting Antique Drawing

Very well drawn, this fine antique drawing depicts the rather fun and satirical scene of two soldiers playing cards, whilst seated on a fallen tree.

The soldier to the left has placed a clothes peg on his nose and is watched over by a guard standing behind.

It could depict a break in battle, or is perhaps a satire on English-French relations?

They are in 18th century dress, but I think the drawing is late 19th century.

Executed in heavy lead or black chalk into paper.

This is most noticeable to the sky area which has turned a little 'tea' coloured. That said the image is still intact and reads well across the whole surface. There are a few foxing marks but these are minimal. It remains a charming picture. Item code as693a168 Status Sold
