This pencil drawing shows officers and soldiers on the Second Bull Run battlefield in Virginia, bending over remains to recognize their comrades. The battle, fought in late August 1862, left many dead unburied for days across the fields near Manassas, so identification often depended on men who had served beside the fallen. Dated 1863, the drawing is part of the Civil War drawing collection and reflects how artists of the period turned the war's aftermath into a subject of quiet, sober record.
