Charlet's prints often drew public attention to the situation of veterans of the Napoleonic wars, such as these two ex-soldiers. As La Combe observes, the lancer on the right seems to express resignation, but the grenadier to the left seems more angry than merely courageous.

The printer is identified beneath the image at right.
