This anonymous caricature, created sometime between 1800 and 1900, depicts two soldiers. The artist uses exaggeration to create a humorous effect. One soldier is depicted as being extremely obese, while the other is slender and tall. The drawing is a pencil sketch, showing the quick, gestural style of the artist. It is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
