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 contains a watercolour depiction of three men in different military uniforms. The man on the left, "3rd Soldier Mandarin", wears studded armour with a bow and arrows. The middle man, "4th Soldier Mandarin" wears a short jacket over a loose robe and narrow pants, while also holding a bow and arrows. The man on the right, "6th Soldier Mandarin", is crouched behind a shield with a tiger face while holding a long sword.
