French Cavalry

A sketch on aged paper depicting a figure in a French cuirassier uniform, characterized by a helmet with a plume. The figure is drawn with bold, expressive lines and appears to be holding something close to their face, possibly inspecting or smelling it. The artist's signature and the words "French Cuirassier" are inscribed at the bottom.
