Description Watercolour painting with a pen and ink border of two soldiers, possibly from a regiment of the Madras Native Infantry. The soldiers stand side by side and both hold a bayonet with their left hand and rest it against their left shoulder. They wear white trousers and black boots and a red jacket. The jacket is decorated with yellow (possibly meant to be gold) braiding on the chest. The cuffs and collar are blue and the jacket has two white sashes across the chest creating an ‘X’. The solider on the left wears a white turban on his head and gold earrings decorated with gems. The solider on the right wears a blue hat with a red and blue hackle on the top and two lines of braiding as decoration. Both the bayonets break the border that encloses the painting.
