This album leaf is a part of a 48-page album that depicts Chinese subjects participating in various aspects of daily life, including government business, daily life, cultural customs, modes of transportation, and corporal punishment. This leaf has an ink and watercolour depiction of two male figures – a soldier and his servant. The figure on the left, the soldier, holds a long musket on his soldier. He wears a short red jacket over a long blue robe, black boots and a coned hat with red tassels. His servant carries a long stick, possibly a ramrod, and wears a black jacket over a long purple robe, black boots, and a yellow coned hat.
