About this work

A pencil sketch on tan paper depicts two bearded officers in military coats and hats in the foreground, with a third figure at right tumbling backward with his hat flying off. Artillery crew and a cannon appear in the upper left, and sketched trees and rocky ground fill the background. A handwritten note in the lower right reads "Death of Gen Polk, Pine Mountain, Georgia," recording the subject as the death of General Polk at Pine Mountain.
