In this scene, we find ourselves amidst the rugged terrains of Persia as dawn breaks on an early morning march. The composition showcases a diverse group of individuals comprising politicians and military personnel astride their majestic horses. Their determined expressions hint at the gravity of their mission - demarcating the Afghan boundary. Simpson's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays each figure with precision and accuracy. The horses' powerful strides mirror the determination and resilience exhibited by these men who are entrusted with shaping geopolitical borders. The significance of this historical event cannot be understated; it symbolizes political negotiations and territorial disputes between nations.
