About this work

A group of six soldiers in military caps and uniforms gather on a cleared field dotted with tree stumps, several seated or kneeling around a cloth laid on the ground. Smoke rises from the distant tree line, suggesting a nearby encampment. This 1876 drawing by Edwin Forbes is titled Pickets trading between the lines.
