DescriptionA young boy lays casually on his stomach, watching the three soldiers in front of him. The soldiers sit atop a hill, with objects scattered around them. Two of the soldiers dressed in regalia look down, inspecting a shield. The third soldier stands upright holding a banner, looking back towards the left, his young face in full view.
