- Description
- A drawing of a skeleton that's dressed like a soldier. The drawing itself looks like it was done with pencil on paper, with a few stains appearing on the tope left and right corners of the artwork. The skeleton itself is facing to the right, a neutral expression on its face. The hat it wears is large, decorated in cords and small feathers adorn the top of it. Its trimming is the same, being a lighter shade than the hat. This can be said for the outfit the skeleton wears as well. High neckline, decorated with a sash, metals on its chest, and tassels adorn both of its shoulders. A clover appears to be sown into the side of the outfits collar.
