About this work
A pencil and white chalk drawing on brown paper shows two sentries in forage caps and long coats challenging a mounted figure beside a campfire beneath pine trees. Horses loaded with packs stand at right while more riders wait in the misty woods under a pale moon. The caption beneath reads "The picket guard. 'Who goes there?' 'Friends.' 'Dismount one friend, advance and give the countersign,'" and the work is signed by Alfred Waud, dated 1863.
