Two Civil War soldiers in uniform seen within a domestic interior in front of a large fireplace. In the centre foreground one of the two men is seated in profile to the left, his legs crossed and reading from a military newspaper, which he holds open before him. Standing directly behind him, the second man leans forward over his shoulder to read from the same sheet, with his left hand placed on the back of the chair and with a pipe in his right. Both men wear long, Regency-style coats with spurred riding boots and bicorn hats. Behind the figures is a table covered with a cloth on which is arranged a wine flagon and a pair of goblets. In front of the soldiers is a large stone fireplace with crockery arranged along the mantelpiece and high-backed wooden chairs placed to the side.
