- Abstract
-
"A German soldier sits in the front row of a theatre gallery, his hands in a muff. He has moustaches, wears a high fur cap, a cloak, the braided tunic of a hussar, and looks fixedly to the right with a contemptuous frown. Those sitting in the same row turn their heads to look at him; a stout man on the extreme right stares through a glass; those behind stand and stare. Some of those seated below look up."--British Museum online catalogue
