According to Captain Eden's estimation, these drawings were at least twenty years old at the time of their discovery, dating them back to approximately 1822. The intricate details and vibrant colors in this drawing showcase the skill and artistry of the Chinese artist. The soldier's determined expression and the sharpness of his weapon convey a sense of strength and readiness for battle.
